What am I missing, how did you make it look like a srw. 

[dripley]

 deja vu.

that welder must be heavy AF.  truck looks like it's bowed in the middle.  Possibly just camera angle.  Nice looking non-dually, though.   I'm here for the dually.

I had about 7,000 lbs of stone in my bed once, got the same looking bend between the cab and the bed. 

 

I don't think changing from a see to a dually would fix that.

Gee those second gens look good don't they? Not hulkey looking at all, just nice.

 

That bow goes away when unloaded. Had about 6 k pounds in the 01 also a SRW truck. It was retaining wall block. Couldn't wait to get that off of there and drove it as soft as I could because I thought sure it might bend the frame hitting bumps too hard.

 

Dripley hauls more than that when he's going to the building permit dept with the cash.

Dont know about the cash, check maybe. I have hauled 2 cubes of brick, about 5500 pounds. Loaded it from the rear axle forward. Rode like was not in there. Did Leave extra room for stopping but never had trouble stopping.

I've had a few people mention it looked bowed. Bed has never lined up like the dually bed did.

Welder is only 1500lbs dry so with torch tanks and fuel maybe 1600 not really that heavy. 

Welder is off now and truck looks lifted again

Though now it's got a counter balance on the tail gate

[Rogan]

Good lookin truck. You’re askin a lot out of those skinny tailgate cables ?

Put some shim washers under the bed front mounting points to get that bow look out.

[Evan]

I'd have to shim the cab up first about a 1/2"

Looking closely at the body lines the look about right the illusion appears to be the skirt being crush slightly along the bottom edge of the bed that makes it look that way.
