Here are a couple pictures of mine, and what he was saying was too extreme for his tastes.

I don't know what you are talking about....

nothing extreme with that truck!!

[Hammer]

Haha, nothing at all

It wasn't too bad with the 44" tires, but it got crazy looking with the big tires.

Here's the only pic I have on hand of mine:



It's a little shorter than Hammer's - I had to cut into the little triangular fender gussets. And instead of cutting straight across, I staggered the cut across the bed floor, maybe 2" farther back so it overlaps the same as stock on the rear bed structure. Also because the frame tapers at the end I had to make a new rear frame crossmember from 5" channel because the original 4" wide piece wouldn't work.

That looks like how I had originally intended to cut mine. I was going to take the vertical bracing, and run it all the way up to the fender flare. But I didn't know how I was going to trim for the big tires, so I never ended up doing that.

Btw, you ever drag those lights on anything? They look pretty exposed like that.
