Bed swap
Does anybody have a rough idea as to what an 8 foot, wide, bed weighs? Building a trailer and wanting to put a bed on it that's in a little better condition. Just trying to figure out whether two 2x6's would be strong enough to slip under the bed sides and lift it. Wanting to attach 2 eyebolts as far out on each end as possible and lift with 4 straps. Too much weight on the 2x6's?

Re: Bed swap
Agreed, 2x4's are plenty sufficient
