fpoole, What length of bed/wheel base is your 5500? I will need to get a flatbed installed too.
Surprised to hear your truck leans a little.
Yah, leaning, so was I, surprised. It's why I went with the 5500... figured I wouldn't have to do anything and certainly didn't want "Worry/Calculate" stuff...
It just could be something is amiss on it, haven't really looked deeply into, but next truck servicing, in a few weeks, I'll have them take a deeper look at it. Only thing I can think of is the Slide out is on that side, but still, shouldn't make a difference.
Truck:
I order the Standard? maybe longer close to the 10' mark, Cab Chassis with a 9'+ frame and then had a 10' Silverlake mfg, (ID) flat bed put on it.
I used to have a Polaris XP1k buggy that needed to fit on it to a staging area if needed (have a winch in the head board area)... I like the flatbed as I'm able to store bins along the side and it's secured by the side railings, locked. So, it works out well.
This is how it looked with a smaller buggy, ACE 900..
