It took me a few looks to realize what wasn't quite right about this pic. Then I saw it is an extra cab on a reg cab frame. LOOKS GOOD.

Man I love Maui!! I am one of those lucky people who had an airline father and got yearly dividends for living in Alaska so regular trips were made hehe. I have been a few times as an adult, the last 2 with the wife who also absolutely loves it.
If I can ever figure out how to afford to live there I would move in a heartbeat lol.

whoa! don't throw away the benefits of your short wheelbase. cut that frame behind the shackle mounts and leave the axle where it is!
a short wheelbase extended cab would be a very rare and very cool vehicle.

DC is referring to the butt dragging set up you have now.
Take a straight edge from your tire to your rear bumper, measure the angle it is probably around 30* compare that to your front.
Low departure angle = crap, higher departure angle is good..same thing can be said about approach angles
Edit- how are those nerf bars holding up?

Yeah I got the concept of approch and depature angel but thanksfor the none the less awsome expl=ination =) Thought he was saying if I moved the axel back I would have too much angel and I didnt think that was possible. Mos tof it comes from that wicked anchor That I got on there for the time being so the fuzz didnt harrass me. As far as moving the springs back I was under the impression that a slightly longer WB from the singel cab and a shorted than the ex cab is perfect (about 115 I belive?) I wanna keep the flat bed the size it is cuss I sleep on it when I camp and want to get rid of any anchors. The cab sits on the fram at about 3inch higher than stock so it makes it really top heavy (another reason for getting a wider WB?) The nerf bars suppriseingly enugh are holding up GREAT! I use them as hammers from time to time on rocks and have absolutely nobody dammage (should see my buddies with out them EWWWWW). Any who thanks for the input, all of it is greatly appriciated.
