3 inch channel for the rails and cross pieces, 3" flat stock for the sides, 4" channel in 2.5" pieces for stake pockets, and finally ended up with 5" channel between the 3" and the frame so the bed would clear the tires. It is on 5" drop springs and the bump stops are sliced in about half and still clears.

I am switching to the 4" HD drops soon to get some of the sag out of it's rear.

If I can help or take picks for you let me know. I am about $200 into it all said and done.
