If you're doing this same kit, this is something you need to address when you order everything. If you have a wood bed, the rear crossmember will sit too high and interfere with the wood once you install the bed. Ridetech initial response was to notch the wood to allow clearance. I didn't think notching the wood was the smart way and pushed a little. Ridetech will supply you with free spacer plates if you ask but you'll need to get longer bolts yourself. So make sure you ask when you order or it just causes delays and rework. Once the spacer plates were in, the top of the crossmember sat flush with the frame as it should. This also resulted in a loss of about 3/4" of drop... no wood notching.
