I didn't know that people with flatbeds wanted to lower their trucks. My truck is lifted and will get a cage/flatbed. Use a trailer if you need a low flat bed I guess.

I think he ment so it would be eisirer to load it . it would be nice, mine is 9 inches from the bumper (thats high) I just not sure how you could lower it and still clear the wheels, I am working on mine right now on clearance for the wheels.

I think it is a good idea. Set the trailer fenders at the height you need to clear the tires when the springs are compressed and build your flatbed around them, as low as you can get it.
