Re: raising bed floor
mark a straight line on the inner wall on the sides measure 2 inches and cut that section out and re weld it, another way since the sides come off the truck and arent welded to the floor is pull the sides and move the mounting serface up 2 in and the back wall also, on 88-98 cause thats the only one ive done you have to use my first suggestion cause the floor and sides are welded on, once youve done this add a 2 in spacer to the bed mounts and your done
