Wow, all the discussions about other states requirments other than the one he lives in and very little on the actual pros and cons of doing it. JMHO

Huh!..:?

How much (more) info can I give you about the requirements for the state I live in (CA)??..:S

Shhesh - if you need help "doing it".... go to any of the gas/diesel truck forums for your brand of pickup - and find all the "how to" -including pics - you could ever ask for..:R

Pro: Get more "stuff" in a given area of space on the back of a pickup. When towing 5th wheel, no worry about hitting bed rails, etc.

Con: See next -and- CONtrary to your statement above, don't have a clue how it's handled in states other than the one I reside in.

Con:
In case you missed it....the point is/was - *if* you change to a flat bed or utility body in CA -the state I live in- you are required to stop at *ALL* weigh stations. - Bummer!.:(
Of course - if you like sitting in lines at weigh stations, being weighed and possibly inspected - guess that could be considered a "Pro", LOL!

How that modification (flat bed) might apply in your home state -now or in the future- is to *you* to determine.

BTW - Happy capish(ing)!.:B
