Well, if anyone who owns a 2014 or newer RAM 2500 and has thought about changing those tall bedsides for a nice flatbed, you may have been told that to make it work you would have to add some spacers to clear the factory suspension/gooseneck cross member, which would raise the bed floor a total of about 8" above the stock height. I was also told by my local dealer that a flatbed on a 2500 with the coil rear suspension was not possible, then he tried selling me a 3500 cab and chassis. Well, that was all it took for me to accept the challenge.
I didn't want the bed floor any taller, and I didn't want to settle for having to climb on my tire to get something into my bed. So, I officially began the build today. We are working this build as a county fair project, so the kids helped me pull the bed and square the frame. That's about as far as we got today because the rest of our materials aren't coming in until tomorrow. Hopefully they will come early so we can get some work done. Will update pictures tomorrow.
P.S. Our show date is Oct. 13th, so wish us luck.
