Re: wood bed floor raise

post up pics when you get them! I plan on doing the same in a few weeks, thinking about a 4"-5" lift.

my plan is to use something like C4 x5.4 or C5 x 6.7 channel. this will allow clearance for bolting the channel to the bed rails and the channel to the wood floor.

good luck. look forward to your pics!!!
