Lots of frame flex.
#16
That's actually just what my dually looks like when I go to lift one of the rear wheels a foot off the ground (easier to fill the axle when its tilted hard to the passenger side) - I got a dually with the factory tow package and slightly beefed-up springs, for those not familiar with that setup the rear axle might as well have been welded to the frame, it goes up and down of course, but side to side tilt ain't happening, hence why I can fly around mountain roads corners like she's on rails

Well, you guys have made me feel better. I was going to beef up the frame rails with 3/8 steel plate, but I think it can just stay the way it is.

2 weeks back I had my truck flexed and as soon as I opened the door to get out I knew I wasn't going to get the door closed. I had a load of scrap to take in so I ended up taking my truck and the 16 foot trailer to the local university of WI campus to go to class. Well them darn ricers thinking their 1990 rust buckets with 4 foot wings are so precious park scattered all over the far end of the lot, so I had to park "off lot" in the back corner partly up some big dirt dunes. Luckly I travel with ratchet straps so I was able to hold the door almost closed.
Sorry about the big picture. It wasn't mine and I just posted it, next time I'll resize before posting. I didn't have an issue but I run 1920x1200 resolution so I never have any issues with images lol. I html coded it to 800 wide after the first request to resize and I think Rupe sized it to maybe 640 width later?
What should we consider "max size" for posting?
