Still Having Problems With TC and Truck
I got brand new Torklift forward frame mounts because the old ones were torn apart.
They failed due to the “towers” failing that hold the bed and hold the top of the Torklift frame mounts.
I installed blocks on the frame where the towers normally go and the bed is now at the right height and the Torklift front frame mounts are bolted to these non-moving parts and everything is good up there.
BUT....
The right rear beam that holds the bed up from the air bag air spring is now crushed. So the right side of the bed is like 3”-4” lower than the left side which isn’t crushed.
Also, the side wall of the bed has a rip in it just behind the rear window of the truck on the same side everything keeps going wrong on. It’s ripped where the box of the truck bed makes a 90 deg angle between the forward wall of the bed box and the passenger side wall of the bed box. The rip is about 4” long and has a vertical orientation.
The entire passenger side fender/side of bed box is loose too. It can be rocked by hand a bit.
The TC keeps on sliding over to that side and is uneven. Sits far more to the passenger side and also leans to that side because of the 3”-4” sag.
What’s next to fix so it can keep going?? What would you do to correct all this?
Everything I fixed up front where the front frame mounts are is working well. The bed is kind of falling apart now.
