THE TRUCK FRAME is one of the most important parts of a truck, serving as the backbone that carries the truck load.

Frames are subjected to three different kinds of loads :

• Vertical - "These are loads to the chassis frame from the engine, transmission, fuel tanks, battery boxes, suspensions, bodies, and cargo, as well as cargo."

• Torsional - ''Torsional rigidity is provided by crossmembers, which are also aided by supporting components such as the engine, transmission, and radiator.

• Side - "Side loading is caused by fuel tanks, battery boxes, and auxiliary equipment such as hydraulic oil tanks, wet-lines, and auxiliary axles mounted to the chassis frame."

Some truck owners like to stretch the chassis of their truck just for looks, however many upgrade their truck for a special purpose like hauling certain types of freight such as steel beams, trusses, and poles.

Frame extension on a 2002 Kenworth truck:

We are stretching a frame on this 2022 Kenworth truck at our truck and trailer repair shop in Edinburg, South Texas. 

Here on this 2002 Kenworth truck, we are double framing to make a heavy hauler and upgrading the rear suspension to heavy specs. 

During the process of frame extension or chassis stretching, we use the method of adding the frame chassis to the rear of the truck. The next step in this process is to unbolt the entire suspension and roll it out of the way. And then we attach the new frame chassis, which gives us only one weld instead of two. 

This beauty has been torn apart and we have started doing frame extensions.
