I picked up a firepunk 47re from a guy on here. The plan is 5x.018s and 467 I have laying around.
We completely rebuilt the front end with a 3" drop. changed rearend to a dana 80 with a locker and a belltech lowering kit.
I also picked up a sport grill and bumper for a steal.

Why in the world did you cut when you could have cut and bolted back together

This. Isn't it just like four rivets to cut through to slide the frame up?
Anyways, I was hoping to see it back halved, since I can't afford it!

Why does it matter? Is it your project? It's done the way I chose to do it. Thanks for the useful input.

It was an honest question, not a criticism. Is it stronger this way?

I believe so if done correctly. I considered cutting the rivets. But I didn't want bolts holding the frame together.

Should be a fun ride! I have seen many frames shortened that way with good results... That's how we'll be doing mine when we do the short bed conversion in it...

The FSM says Grade 5 or higher bolts is adequate for replacing rivets. I certainly wouldn't be afraid of bolts, they hold everything else together on a truck.
