Yeah.. you might wanna do the axle flip, and keep the integrity of the load support...
mine looks good, but i can't really put a lot of stuff in the bed, and it bottoms out....

LOL yeah, something like that.
Helped my girlfriend move a lil while back, and had my truck packed with stuff..

That is true! I actually have no problem using my truck to haul light stuff as long as it doesn't come close to the sides of the outside of the bed. Just not much opportunity. When I was younger I used to put hard tounneau covers on my trucks JUST so that I didn't have to help my friends move their crap. I got tired of being asked all the time by people that didn't even talk to me other than to help them move stuff or pick up something at Home Depot for them :D

LOL NICE!!! but then again, it could be financially lucrative for you though... hmm... charge for hauls...(light stuff, of course)... or even get you a trailer to haul it in, and hang out around the hardware stores... ya never know LOL

shoot.. i might even try that :)
