Boy that is short, prolly coulda used a CJ frame. It's going to ride like a Bronco with those HD J20 springs on there, might rethink that part of it unless articulation won't be that important and you already own a kidney belt.:thumbsup:

I removed two rear springs and moved the hangers under the frame. It rides better than before and flexes great.

Here is the rear bumper/air tank

less bed infront of rear tire than in back looks right,more natural.

This Rocks! :thumbsup: I like how you tackled that double wall bed like it was nothing... personally I'd be sure it was a single wall bed I was working on. You aren't short on ambition, that's for sure.
