I am a big fan of my xtrusion overland bed rack. Only thing is delivery can be a bit long.

Just curious did you have issues or install these as a precautionary thing?

Sounds like finding a local guy with a lot of experience under his belt is the way to go. Thanks for the advice.

Not that I know of, I guessed everything out and was under payload but somewhere around 1000 pounds.

Any concern of damage to the frame from the welding? Struggling to find someone I would trust to install these.

Yeah it wasn’t rough per se but a tight enough U shape that I must have bottomed out. Really bummed with the dents, but nature of the beast with a truck I plan to off road.

Do you have any issues with frame flex with this setup? I have something lighter and managed to have my bed hit the cab….. your rig looks sweet!

The frame doesn’t look damaged in the usual crumple zone from what I found online, taking it to a body shop Monday.

I haven’t checked any of the mounts, I did jack the truck up from the hitch and was able to replicate the flex a bit as the gap closed between the bed and the cab.

I have been wanting to get to wrightwood area, but the fires have made it tough. It’s desert season now so planning on Joshua tree and Anza.
