    As the titile said -

    Any LS guys know what the KP setback is on these - before I mount this headache rack on the back of the T2000 and find out I need some more . . . . adjustments!?

    I rang LS yesterday, no response.

    The truck has an upright exhaust on the passenger side, and a fire extinguisher mount on the drivers side. I may need to change the exhaust to a weed burner if they have 30 or 36" setbacks.

    By my trig, the clearance on a 30" is 59.5", and I think I'm too close with 72" from KP to muffler bracket, less 14" for the rack, . . . . 58" . . . .

    The FT. corner of new set back flat bed is 53in. from center of pin to outside corner of trailer , I measured with trailer turned an ft. corner closest to headboard, you should have room like it is now, be sure the load does not hang over ft. of trailer if load is 8ft 6in wide extra care to load it back from ft. edge of flat bed.

    Set back on the trailer you measured? Is that the 96" one in the yard, or 108" - 108" would make a difference, right?

    Their rentals are 30" setback for the 48' flats - got hold of a woman in the trailer utilisation department.

    She also said they are no longer charging the $170/week, but taking 8% of revenue instead . . . . aaaaah . . . . . no thanks.

    This of course at odds with recruiting and 'corporate' . . . .
