    So you cut your frame to shorten it. I just shortened my 96 Pete took 20" out of the frame so that the dump box would fit. I just slid everything foreward and drilled new holes. How is yours working out?

    Not really a frame stretching question, but does anyone know if there is a direct replacement front axle and suspension from another truck model that I could install on my Peterbilt 387 to get the front axle rating up to 15K or 16K pounds?
