The question I have is if the cab is raised then the bed would need to be raised to keep the body lines matched up and I've been under several of these trucks and have never noticed a spacer under the bed (I wasn't looking for them at the time)

The taller mounts are compensated for by lowering the bracket on the frame. On a 2wd 1/2 ton the rear cab mount bracket is even with the top frame rail. On 3/4 tons and 4x4's, it is positioned below the top of the top frame rail. Hence no need for bed or front clip shimming.
