I was impressed enough with your SAS thread, and then after reading every page, I saw this one and was blown away. Amazing job. It's definitely the best flatbed I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of them.

Out of curiosity, what would you say the total weight of the FB is? It's got to weigh a lot more than the old bed...

I ducked into the weigh station nearby when the CHP wasn't around and did a quick weigh. The flatbed weighs roughly 400lbs. The bed was around 300lbs. The headache rack gives the flatbed a more weighty look however it is only 1/8" steel. What makes it so strong is the structure - 1/8" enclosed, welded all around and connected/welded to the flatbed.
Thanks for the comments!!!

Awesome job, great functional bed.

How is it all working out now? You have had a few months to get the suspension all worked in. I read you added a leaf to it but in the front or the back and why?

Great job again and as has been said before, best truck on Yotatech IMO.

THANKS!!!
It is working out great! I added a leaf to bring it up to level. I had a little bit of a sag and I had an extra 2 leafs that would fit the OmE leaf pack. It brought it up just a little in the back. I kinda like the look of a slightly raised back end. I really rides nice. The weight is toward the middle of the rig and it is a little different than the stocker bed. I really like it. Wheels incredible. I did some decent wheeling in the past few weeks. my only regret is it is really muddy and dirty. But, eh thats what its for.
Thanks again!
Kind of a bad pic-

That's awesome! Glad its all working out so well, wish I had done a bit more research when I did mine.

I am talking with Mike about a custom leaf pack now and trying to get mine working a bit better.

Great job!

Um, haven't really thought about that. I don't suppose I would charge anything.
Do you mean a design schematic angle for angle in order to make one like it?
