Re: stepside bed height

On my truck it looks like it's exactly 1 & 3/4" above the edge of the bed. I measured factory lines to try and get close. This may be different on factory trucks as I had to make my own bed perches after I took out 60 inches of frame.
Here's a couple pics to show you for what it's worth.

Re: stepside bed height

It really all depends on how good all of the rubber bushings are on the bed and the cab.

Mine is 2 1/4 on the passenger side and about 2 3/4 on the drivers side. Do not know if mine have been changed or not.

No problem. Hope it helps. Probably just adds to the confusion though.
