Radar274 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Been on the sidelines the last few months taking care of 10,000 visitors. Don't know why we do it but they have all gone and we can now get back to Lucy's bed build. The bed frame is mostly completed; need to hang the storage boxes and mount the hitch before we add the skirting. The 730 is singled short and the bed length is 155" BOC. Is 18" of ground clearance at the bumper enough? What is your ground clearance at the bumper? Are you singled short, mid or long? I will try to attach some pics.

maveric Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 My bed is around 11' long, and I'm singled short. I have (I think) a 48" Buyers toolbox behind the wheels on mine, and I think my hitch height is about 18". I have considered adding lower skirts to fill it in, since I think it looks unfinished. Never came close to hitting or dragging it. This is with the air dropped on the bags.

Darryl&Rita Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 We're closer to 8" to grade, almost 5 ' behind the axle. We have done some "landscaping" with the overhang, but it was built knowing there would be contact, and hasn't hung us yet. I have been wrong before, I'll probably be wrong again. 2000 Kenworth T 2000 w/N-14 and 10 speed Gen1 Autoshift, deck built by Star Fabrication 2006 smart fourtwo cdi cabriolet 2007 32.5' Fleetwood QuantumPlease e-mail us here.
