Mine isn't as drematic as others and that is because it isn't done yet. The rears are 38x11.50-16s and the fronts are 215x70r16(around 6"s wide) on 4" narrowed wheels. I never got around to buying the 4" front runners this year because I kept having tranny problems and only went to the track twice. Next year I will have the front runners, and the widend rear wheels(6.5" made into 8") I only have one widened wheel for the rear and again with out making it to the track this year I didn't have any reason to do the other wheel. Anyhow onto the pic.

Is it just me or is your bed not on straight??? The body lines don't match up... Looks like my truck right now with a bent rear frame section

The factory bed was off just a tiny bit and this bed is the same. I am going to take1/4" or so out of the bed mounts so that everything lines up properly. It is just one those Chevy things how not everything is perfect. I have looked and tons of trucks are miss-aliened just like mine is. I doubt your frame is bent unless you know it is for sure. Like I said thousands of GMC/Chevy trucks look just like mine with the bed a touch hier then the cab.

Yes I did shorten the truck. If you are thinking that is why it don't line up it isn't. I didn't cut the frame in the middle. I just mounted the 4 link further up the frame and cut off the back of the frame.
