    What is the best way to level out the bed with the cab?

    Unfortunatly you cant just level out the bed with the cab without it looking like garbage because there are 2 body lines that will no longer line up (Picture #1). What you can do though is have 2 pieces made and welded in on each side of the front of the bed to make the bedside the same length down as the cab (Picture #2).
