Gonna be sweet when done. The PMD sections seem to keep the rails nice and true. I'll get some now.

they work great this is my third set as long as you file the frame ends straight where you cut them i usually measure by the bolt that goes in the top of the framethrough to the extension.i prefer these over getting a custom frame that you have to drill all of the holes in yourself all of my work is done by basic hand tools dremel ,drill are the only power tools i use.

the other thing is they don't make the frame sag if its done right and they are strong i put the trailer i bought from travis on both trucks with extensions and that trailer is heavy and they didn't bend even going over uneven ground

That is a nice length for the chassis especially for a cabover and I always low and long the only way to roll...
