If I can't get them to fit then i'll sell them and get something else.

When you get your bed parts let me know if the quality is worth it. The only thing I have usable on mine is the tailgate.
I think you will have no issues with the fender lip but you may run into problems with the actual bedside. I'm not in NC right now so I can't look at it and honestly I do not know if my rear end is the longer one or not. Your wheel B.S. is .25" narrower and your rear end is .75" narrower each side so you should be close. If I remember correctly I do have a little over an inch between the tire and the bedside, but I can't remember if that is from the bolts holding the stainless trim in or the actual bedside. The bed is completely apart otherwise I would measure it for you.
