My question deals with the tailpipe heat sheild under the bed floor. I understand the tailpipe heat sheild go"s on theunderside above the rear axle . HOW MUCH clearence do I need between the Heatsheild and the tailpipe should I use HI -temp paint on the heat sheild ? How hot does it get ? dont want to set my bed floor on fire!!!!!

I doubt that if you get 1" or more of clearance between it and the tailpipe that you'd need hi-temp paint on it. Either way, I doubt you'll set your bed floor on fire.

It answers many of your questions. https://www.mar-k.com/PDFs/Instructions/heatshield.pdf
