Sitting level. Looks like it was made to do just that.
It would be really neat if those axles and tires were under it, instead of on it.

The crates weigh 1980lbs each and the tires are 225lbs each. Thats 4,860lbs in the bed. The truck weighs 8900lbs empty with the CM bed on it.

Did a Google search on those axles and guys are putting them on everything, Envoys and Trailblazers seem popular! I know off roading parts need to be tough but thats ridiculous. Be cool on a very capable D600 though......
Also something you have to watch out for is the paint on those axles is very toxic (I'm sure you already know this). It's some sort of special paint for withstanding chemical agents?

a stock 4-v 318 should be plenty of power for those gears.

Why would that be such a surprise? I've had 205 8x8x16 concrete block in the bed of my 99 3/4 ton 5.9 gas truck and it haul it with ease! [img:center]http://[/img]

Cool wear did you get all that stuff? I have worked on and rebuilt those axles,transfer case when I worked on MRAPS for the US.ARMY. they were used in RG31 MK3 and MK5. What are you building? Sounds cool whatever it is.
