Re: Bed removal
Yep - just cut the 8 box bolts loose and undo the license plate lamp connection.
You'll also need to undo the fuel filler neck and a ground wire on that side, if you are going all the way off. K Quote:

Re: Bed removal
Loosen the bolts that go through the bed floor and lift. If you lift it to far make sure you unplug your tail lights, there also should be a vent tube from the rearend that is attached to the bed floor. Also loosen your gas filler tube if you still have the factory gas filler.

Re: Bed removal
I've never had to take the bed off to remove the shackles. You will have to notch a bed brace if you're putting on lowering shackles though, but that can be done with the bed on the truck.
