JK660, thanks for posting that link, I looked through the tips and tricks and saw on the one post that they do say to use a rubber pad on the rear cross brace but it specifies stepside, doesn’t seem to have any info on fleetsides.

Thanks for the info Topfuel1966, I might end up having to just shim the rear up but wondered if this is common or if the frame is bent down. Also concerned the bumper will sit 1/2” lower than it should.

How much did you need to shim the rear of your bed?
