polished the trailer bumper and installed the ZEUS nameplate which will be lit up with l.e.d.s. and installed the lenses going with the black bezels


also i repainted the suspension frame and reinstalled the suspension and i installed the awesome polished fenders i got from Wayne (Flatdeck) and installed them on an angle so i can use the full custom mudflaps i got made from Brian from Exclusive .instead of trimming them to fit the fenders

Hi Dwayne,

can you please tell me the distance between the axles? I'd like to build a spread axle flatbed and I don't know the difference in between.

Thanx...
