strange noises are normal
Deal fell thru on the truck, I am still looking at doing this if i can find another one tho. I am thinking instead of cutting the frame rails, the spring hangers could just be moved on the frame to get the correct wheelbase. After that, chop off the excess frame behind the rear spring hanger, and modify the bed mounts so a swb bed would fit it. The position of the spring hangers would give it a little lift, and it would be a perfect time to do a shackle flip on the rear spring hanger. Im not sure if a swb gas tank would fit it, but it would be in the way on the lwb also.
