Body Lift storage?
since im doing a bodylift, there is a ton of space underneath. since people have to weld in blocks to get the bed more support to haul the actual limit. couldnt i just making a small box and put it across the fram. maybe put my straps and **** in there without worrying?

So how much is the load rating supposed to be reduced? My box doesn't sit on the frame all the way along the way it is now and i've had the springs curved down before with no problems... Just curious because my lift goes on tonight.....

Me and a friend had this kind of idea a while back. He put a body lift on his longbed Dodge. Being a contractor, he always has ladders on the truck. So we made a compartment under the bed the fit the entire 8ft ladder which slid out the back when needed. It was a lot of work because we had to move around a few things but it turned out awesome! Its a wonderful idea!

I couldnt see any reason not to just the the entire underbed out, install a custom box along the entire bottom of the bed of the truck, put some compartments in it so things dont shift around.. build an 1/8" sheet metal "top" on it for the bottom of yoru bed, get it all rhinolined.. put some hydraulic lifts on it, and make the handle only accessible when the tailgate is down and/or off. That way you woudl have a 4 footx 8 foot box all along the back to fit 'anything' you wanted. Hell, that actualyl sounds fantastic, and I may look into doing somethign like that eventually myself
