Let's see some truck bed modifications fellas

Hey everyone, I've been pondering quite a bit about the floor of my 1971 truck bed. I'm going to be installing a 4/6 drop. I'm rolling 22" rims under it. Tires are 265/35/22. I know my diff housing will be very close to the bed floor. So I was hoping to see some pics of how all of you have gotten around this issue. So if you would mind throw some pics up for me to ponder some ideas.

Hopefully you won't need to. Not my favorite look. I have a 7" drop with a DJM flip kit in the rear. I have NOT c-notched or modified the bed and don't think I will need to.

I have the same on my 71 lwb, just trimmed the bump stops, installed bump buttons over the axle, and relocated the shock mounts.
