Thanks to Evan and Jay for picking the truck up and lunch on the way over. Its in Toms hands now! lol.
Sorry to hear this is such a pain! How much are you adding into the chassis - just the couple of inches you said it appeared to be short? Were you able to verify the chassis dimensions and what did TCI have to say about this? They must have seriously stepped on themselves to get the length wrong!

As I posted before, my TCI chassis is tight to the point that with the cab pushed as far forward as possible, I still had slight contact with the front of the bed and the back of the cab. I just (yesterday) drilled a new set of front bed mounting holes about 3/4" to the rear and I got a little separation but could also line up the rear set of holes.
