[QUOTE="Saltydawg, post: 275892, member: 2944"] Unless you really know what you're doing I would also recomend NOT messing with the spring/axle geometry. It sounds as though your down tube for your hitch is as low as it can be without modifying the bed of your pickup (or the actual arm of the trailer which is more than most can do). Lowering the mounting points of your spring/axle relative to your frame is the safest way to get those extra inches you need. Again however, if you're not a competant fabricator and welder I would farm this work out to someone who is. Flat bed trucks make great tow vehicles :) [/QUOTE]
