wat we do a lot here to keep the bed from dinging up in general is make a floor out of a ruff type of concrete pooring plywood and make boxes to go over the wheelwhells , the stuff is pretty waterproof

doing the same thing with the 2x4's to raise the floor a little and you whont get mud slung up againts the rearwindow from the opening in the original wheelwells
that way you are allso still able to put a bedcover over it all

just make sure you either prevent anything from falling in between the fender and the boxes or make the boxes so you can open them to clean the out ...... else the whole sides will fill up with a mudcake in youre case
