Thanks for the feedback guys.
The box itself sits 1" higher than it normally would, it's been reinforced with 2 pieces of 9' C stock... so when its fully declined, the bottom of the fender sits about 1" higher, flush with the top of the running board, and not below it. As seen here:

Now I'm at a loss for what to do. Not only does the correct fender not clear the running board, but its 1" higher than it would be normally. Steve - I'm not worried about the load capacity, I don't plan on hauling with this truck.
I'll try to take better pics of the hoist assembly when I get it out of storage. But I'm curious if there are other trucks with this configuration out there.
Should I try to lower the bed? I don't think this would be an easy task. I don't mind the 1" gap - I never notice it until now.
But with the corrected fenders, I was thinking of cutting back running board to allow the raising and lowering, knowing full well there will be a slight gap.
Thoughts?
