*tubed - Mor/Ryde term for welding a square steel tube between frame and axles prior to installing IS axles. They have several sizes depending on need to level the whole rig.
Alright..the bedrail clearance is enough by raising it to two inches. Aside from the previous mentioned hitches. Can you recommend other cheap hitch but high quality?
