I thought the frame was flexing too much....had the bed removed & found the frame broken in 2 parts & holding by the Airbag brackets
Both sides cleanly broken as if I had sawed them to extend the truck to make a limo....
Those y2k 1/2 Ton Silverados have waffer thin frames...DO NOT OVERLOAD them...I hauled a 2000lbs slide in camper & I think it didn't help
I hope the frame shop will be able to reconnect the front & rear of my truck & reinforce it too!
Good thing I was not towing the Safari
the chains would have been no help
