On the 6x6 the rear end of the frame drops about 3 inches. the subframe of the dump bed is rigid mounted at the front corners and the rear corners. The bed itself is only attached at the rear corners by hinge pins and the hydraulic cylinder just ahead of the hinges. The front corners of the bed are flexible and do raise off the frame when twisting. In the picture, the only felx was actuall in the front and rear suspension! The angle was not such that the frame had to twist, however, it did on several other obstacles! Usually I could tell when the alternator pulley would rub against the front motor mounting frame!
