stepside bed install question

Hi,

I just painted the bed and put it on the truck but it looks like it's sitting low, I have 3/4 inch spacers in on the front brace to take the space of the wood bed, are there spacers that go between the frame mounts and the cross bars on the bed? Is it normal to have to "adjust" it up a bit?

There's no spacers, I've seen some trucks with a rubber pad under the bed mounts though. Why do you think it sits low?
Also I'm pretty sure that the stepside beds are not as tall as the fleetsides in relation to the back of the cab.

I thought there were wood spacers from the factory (squares with bolt holes in them)....but I'm somewhat senile
