Interested as well. I don't want to mount something like this and then mess the bed up when I try to lift my 14.00 with rim off the ground.

Like You Wouldn't Believe

Does the winch make the bed flex?

Winch, not wench....

It does flex a little but not bad for a spare tire. I will be however adding a 24x24 5/16" plate under the crane between the bed then some gussets underneath.

That's pretty fly!

Glad to see your still at it Dan ! Looks great ! In fact I think I'll steal your idea for my truck.

If the crane will stay in that position, run a brace from the bed's top rail to the crane mast. It will steady it up quite a bit.

 

[Lieutenant Dan]

Yeah Rob I plan on doing that as well. A nice triangular piece bolted into the side of the bed and then welded or clamped to the crane mast.
