    BST II ? BST has 16" crossmembers and 52k in 4 foot coil package. So I thought.

    Can't go wrong with either.

    Wore I took screenshots of this post and saved it, and am getting ready to order parts.

    To everybody:
    I looked into bookmarking this post first, but did not find that feature on TTR. Is there a way to do that and did I just miss it?

    The way I see it, the span between the front drive and steer are constantly flexing up and down. Like a bridge. I’m not nearly as concerned with side to side flex as I am up and down. Yes a cross member over the splice would be best. What do you say @OLDSKOOLERnWV you probably have more experience in this than anyone else here.

    You could save the link to that page and be there in a pinch — I know of no faster way on mobile.

    If you’re on your computer there normally is a paper clip looking icon, I think, on some forum softwares that will provide you a direct link to the post.

    That’s a @MACK E-6 question...

    I have no idea either way and limited experience, but I see your point. Add to that there is the fifth wheel slider framework that adds to the structural integrity over the drives.

    Don’t think I’ve seen the orange one, I’m partial to orange ones myself. My favorite truck ever was an orange T800.

    I’m on an iPhone but I’d IMAGINE it’s the same if you’re on a Samsung or whatever else they have these days...

    Click on “Yesterday at 5:26pm” along the blue box. It should snap you to the top of that post. From there copy the link in your url box. Test it out — it should generate a link to that specific post — if that works just save the url into your bookmarks. Profit.

    Thank you sir! That was pretty easy.

    As much as I use this new-fangled technology one would think that I would be better at it.
