    There should be a fiberglass lip around the tail light area where it hangs over the bedside channel. That lip at the top near the tail lights, where two bolts go through, should be fit on the inside of the bedside sheet metal channel. That should close up the 1/2" gap that you're having. Hope this makes sense

    Bedsides are on and looking pretty good! Gap cleaned up a lot with some minor trimming.
    Next question: I have a gatortrax bed cover but it’s also not fitting well. Anyone else have similar issues?

    Finally done and home. Picked it up at night so the lighting conditions are not optimal.

    The pearl white looks great!

    What size tire you running? Spacers?

    Is that black vinyl on top of your bedsides?

    285/75/17 and just put 1.25” Bora spacers

    no black on top, just the lighting. I do have a roll up bedcover that has some black on top but the picture is misleading
