2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Anyone stretch a frame ?

[MPalachuk]

Thinking about stretching the frame so I can hall a jeep and pull a trailer. Has anyone done this and what did you use on the frame? Also how has it held up? Just looking for ideas. Thanks Mike

We Stetched my frame 4 feet off the back and no problems. it was to have a 10 foot deck and we stetched it to 12 foot off the back with box tubing.

Good luck.

Here's my only word of warning if using it to haul a vehicle. I work for a body shop in Dixon, Illinois, and one day, up pulls this REALLY nice 97 cummins diesel rollback flatbed. I asked the guy about it and it was custom made, just completed - It looked like they did a very nice job. So he loads up this 99 jeep cherokee on the rollback, and when he tips the bed and starts rolling it in -- BAM the frame buckled right in the middle and the cab nearly touched the back of the frame . It turns out, they neither boxed the frame, or double framed it for strength, and it had been a regular truck frame. The next thing i know im loading it up on our Ford 23 foot rollback with a cummmins HPCR in it. Of course, your mileage may vary LOL
