In my case, I installed some dense 1/4" thick pads at the rear of the frame rails and use about 3/4" thick rubber snubbers at the front of the frame rails because I have a dump bed conversion and the bed bounces around when driving and makes a lot of noise. The trim lines on the side of the bed does not line up the the corresponding line on the doors and front fenders, so I am leaving all of the trim off to lessen the visual impact.
