Or to hide extra electronics, battery, etc.

Hopefully others will chime in as well,

Ive seen it on all types of builds from dumps to just standard cab setups, the dump setup I had figured was for clearance and mounting of hydros etc etc but the others are what I was unsure on.

Thanks for the input I had figured that the scale appearace was one reason I had not even thought about the trans mount heighth. I have seen quite a few this way especially when they are 6x6 I assume to bring cab height up to clear the axle and such??

Thanks again for your input guys any more is greatly appreciated as well
