    Rear Axle Lift Blocks for a Bobber

    Ok, I see what you're saying. I'm not looking to do anything like that but I did see that there was some meat I could trim off the ribs under the center of the bed if it came down to a half an inch. I guess I'll see what I need to do once I get the bed on. Just waiting on the u-bolts and...
