I've thought about doing exactly what you've done (same model truck and habitat framing) and wondered how (or if) you are planning on addressing frame and habitat flex? I was thinking I would free the upper frame rail and add spring capture mounts between the rails with a hard mount in the rear.

@chrisszabo553 for my situation I'm not going to address the frame/habitat flex. I'm going to add support inbetween the 24" post and wherever I can. I'll also try to keep most of the habitat weight center line of gravity to prevent the truck from tipping over. I don't plan on doing any real serious offroading with the military truck because it won't ever be as capable as a jeep or 4runner. Not trying to trash my nice truck 😅. Also, most people that own these types of trucks never really do routes that require the flex. You might flex on 1% of the journey and to me the return of input did t seem worth it. I'll make sure to do a good route study before I commit to a major trip
