do i need bed stiffeners?

99% of use is street. no real crawling . very mild offroad every great ounce in a while.
i have a shell . and i have minor spreading even when shell isn't on. thanks

 

Not sure, many on here say its a item you never knew you needed until you got em'. Having said that, I have a Cap on mine and installing the brackets closed my gaps up top by just over 1/8" on each side. A little extra assurance IHMO.

 

@At The Helm

I have a set in-coming and I'm pretty excited. I can barely hide it...!

 

Does the spreading bother you?

If not, then NO....

If it does, then YES.


It's up to you. It's bugs the hell outta me. I can see it flex and spread over every bump with the cap on.

I just ordered a set.

 

Title of thread sounds like a personal problem to me

 

Roof racks for carrying items?

 

Is someone making them on TW?

 

Thanks Daria! I read most of the 35 pages……..way too much drama.

I will make contact and buy a set.

Thanks again!

I went with @Bentrodder 's myself.

The built in bottle opener from @At The Helm is a nice touch though....

 

Not yet but looking for a used set of rails and racks.

 

Here's another option but the other choices listed above are less $$$.

 

Thanks kindly for the link!

However, I am going to buy from @Bentrodder. He has good standing on here and I like his product!

 

"Bed stiffeners" "Spreading" key words going on in here..

I hear there's some stuff you can "put in your tank" to help with the "stiffness", however that might further the ''spreading" problemo.

 

Sure thing, they look nice either way.

 

Thanks everyone for opinions but cash is low I'll hold off for a while.I need air bags first. Thanks

 

Yes....

 

Ok thanks
