[QUOTE="Cab-over Pete, post: 7333070, member: 416"] Right. Having spoken to, messaged and emailed a few owners of truck spreaders, they are all fixed rigid at the back. Some are on a subframe, some mounted direct. Those with a subframe seem to have weigh cells incorporated. It’s the front where the give is catered for. At the front I’m going to have a piece of hardwood or possibly tough but flexible plastic between the chassis and body but at the back it will be mounted on the ball joints, so the chunky bracket is just touching but hardly baring down on the chassis. The rear mount will also have a long kind of foot to spread the load a little along a section of chassis maybe 8-10” rather than just the 3 1/2 inches of the box section bracket. [/QUOTE]
