When you get a bed mount kit it will include a couple rubber sheet/pads to place between the bed and the frame mounts. (That's why you need the extra grounds since it is insulated between the bed and frame. Most folks have told me they didn't use them when the reassembled their trucks. Between the beed and cross rails is nothing.

We use industrial belting cut into small squares between the bed and frame. The material holds up real well and it helps eliminate bed squeeks.
