So this weekend the bed is coming off and I will make my bumper. After that I will attempt to install my 63" springs. Since my bed bob cut the frame directly behind the rear shackles, I'm left with a bit of a dilema. I can't move them back 4 inches....And a double shackle really has nothing to fold up against.
I was thinking of building the bumper so that I extend the frame with 2x2 as a mount for my bumper. Should I trust that enough to actually move the mounts back onto it? Or should I just let the double shackles fold up against it? I do plan on gusseting the mounts.....
