i have read about body sag and was curious if adding an additional body mount or two to the frame would eliminate this?... seems like i could put one fairly close to the one right behind the door break and it couldnt sag any??? am i thinkin correctly???

on a side note i wheel this truck probably 10% of its life so no real flexin just sometimes alittle mud
 
i think that adding a body mount on each side or tying the existing ones together would be enough support. I'd be sure to isolate the body in a manner similar to stock so you don't get alot of vibration from street driving. You are correct in placement, because the body is most likely to flex where the cab meets the bed.
 
i have an extra set of factory rubber mounts and i planned to make the additional mounts the same as a factory one with rubber isolation and be tied into the channel that runns the lenght of the body, all other body mounts are holding up at this channel so i think in theory it could work i was just lookin for other advice
