Re: Bed too high? What did I do wrong?

What cross braces are you using? I can't tell from the pics, but I went out and measured mine.

My stepside with a wood bed has 2-1/8" thick cross braces, and the steel fleetside bed floor I have has a hair over 3" thick cross braces. If you say you're about an inch high... it makes sense to me that you may have used the fleetside bed mounts? If you swap from a steel to a wood floor you need to use cross braces for the wood bed, the front bed panel is different, and even the "roll pan" looking piece that finishes off the back of the bed has to be unbolted, cut out, and swapped.

EDIT: You posted while I was typing mine out and missed your last post. That answers that, should be the right ones.
