You will also need the steps that match the fenders, they curve differently to match the fender contour. I also used 1" spacers between the frame and the cross sills to get the bed to what IMO is the correct height.

Check out my build thread, starting with post #4 for fender installation data and post #101 for bed 1" spacer details.
