thank you!
This weekend is the date. Going to disassemble and start phase 2. But I could use some options.
-should I remove the rear spring mounts from the frame? They wont be used or will they be in the way. I will be cutting the spring mounts off the axle, so going back would be difficult anyways...
-is it just me or do you guys think the frame coating sucks? Any recommendations on something better i can at least hit with the cab back?

I have seen a couple trucks out here get the whole undercarriage sprayed with line-x. Obviously that's gonna make it a pain in the *** to do any additional mods and really more for a finished product but it looks damn good and holds up really well.

Frame coating is good but from what I have heard you should not hit it with Line-X

If Line-x chips at all you are screwed when water gets in and rusts it from the inside out. That won’t realistically happen but I’d rather see a frame get painted and make sure that everything is all good every now and then.
If you Line-X it then you are also making any future repairs etc more difficult because you now have a thick layer of tar basically over all the bolts and metal so no more welding.
Just my opinion
