Just wondering if anyone has ever heard about these or used them personally. Obviously that gold yota is SICK AS F**K but i'm not running a shop and have never built a badass show truck before sooooooooooooooooooooo just looking for some input.

thats a good price for a Mandrel Bent Frame Rails, but are you going to cover it all up though? cus if you are i wouldn't see any point in getting them..

THAT is what i haven't decided cause i thought of that too. The biggest deal to me is I am no fabricator, I'd gladly pay the money to have something like this already built and something i know is right. Yeah i could build a backhalf for half or less than half the cost of these rails, but it would take god knows how long, and then we're just back to the beginning, i'm no fabricator lol.
Also, if you look how they did that bed on the gold yota, if the link setup and everything else turned out nice enough, i would do something like they did so you could see it.

mandrel bent rails like that are normally used for drag cars. obviously they'd be strong enough, I think the only question is would you be able to get the hump high enough to go over the axle when it's layed out.

They are 17" from the bottom of the frame rail to bottom of the hump so that will work. You say you aren't a fabricator so does that mean you have to have someone tie this into your stock frame and build all the link bars etc? If so you should probably just let them do the whole thing as it would be cheaper.

I just meant I'd rather buy built rails then go buy a stick and build my own, cuts out me having to worry about so many angle cuts. And as far as tying these into my stock frame, is there more than sliding them into my factory frame where I cut off the current frame and bracing it all really good? Or am I missing something? And as far as the 4 link goes I'm not worried about that honestly, I've thought that through more than anything else.

right, but really and truly the price they are asking for them rails would cost me bout as much to get my stock of tubing, and going and getting it bent, so its not a bad price at all, but like he said they built to lay with that hump to go high enough to layout, thats the same ones on that truck anyway and its obviously lays out..

I was about to say I have the same truck so it should lay lol.

Nope, that's all there is to it. They are nice rails and would save some fab time.

I haven't decided 100% on em, my biggest fear is screwing one up while adding crossmembers and building various brackets where as if I built my own I'd just be able to make another one lol.

It's just metal, if you mess up a bracket just cut it off and grind it smooth again.

this man don't lie!!!
