Thanks fellas
i finished these things. not a perfect re-creation, but very few will ever see the differences on these sills vs. an OEM. always fun to make your own and i am not stickler for OEM.... haha
needed a 1" spacer to match the body lift. i like this better than a lift puck
the boards clear the hitch due to that 1" body lift. i will still have some funk to get the hitch accessible with the wood, but i dont think it will be difficult.
one day i will get to start mocking up the bed.
some more supplies showed today so i can finish the wiring up a little better before the bed goes together to much farther. it will come off again for paint, but who knows on that timeline...
