How Do You Body Drop a Truck Bed?

Body Dropping a Truck Bed is a popular modification among truck owners. It is an easy and relatively inexpensive way to customize the look of your truck.

The process involves cutting off the rear bumper and frame of the truck, lowering the bed to a desired height, and then welding it back together. This can give your truck an aggressive, lowered look that will turn heads wherever you go.

The first step to body dropping a truck bed is to remove the rear bumper and frame. This can be done with an angle grinder or other tools that are suitable for cutting metal.

Be sure to wear safety gear when doing this as sparks will fly while cutting. Once you have removed the bumper and frame, you will have access to the bed of the truck.

The next step is to lower the bed of your truck to your desired height. This is done by using jacks that are placed under each corner of the bed and then adjusted until it is at the desired height. It is important to take your time during this step, as making mistakes can be costly when it comes time for welding everything back together.

After you have lowered the bed to its desired height, it’s time for welding everything back together. Using a high-quality welder with proper settings for welding sheet metal is essential in order for everything to fit correctly once it’s put back together. Be sure to double check all welds before putting everything back together as any mistakes here could lead to disastrous consequences down the road.

Conclusion:

Body Dropping a Truck Bed can be a great way to give your vehicle an aggressive and unique look while still being relatively inexpensive and easy to do. Once you have removed the rear bumper and frame, lowered the bed accordingly, and properly welded everything back together, you’ll have yourself a great looking truck that will impress everyone who sees it!
