Should i get bed stiffeners?

Yours look better than almost everyone else's on the market.

 

Thanks! I appreciate that. 10ga. 316 stainless.

 

Before you order send @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc a message and see what kind of price they can get you on SKU# TCS48676

 

@boston23 ok, I know that there are going to be arguments and opinions either way but let me give my personal experience. I have had a leer shell on my truck for 4 years. 2 years ago, I noticed that my tailgate started developing gaps on both sides where I could look through them. When I put the bed stiffeners on, I noticed that there was a 3/4" gap from the bottom of the bed, which was touching, to a 3/4" gap at the top where it wasn't touching. I had to use a ratchet strap to bring the bed back to square and them bolted the stiffeners in. It has stayed square ever since. I wish I had put them on in the beginning. Inevitably......it is up to you.

 

Damn @crashngiggles just sold me on these bed stiffeners. Thanks for your 2 cents!

 

I chose ones from caliraised, but they pretty much all do the same thing. Total chaos ones go up higher, At the helm (ATH) ones are great but you have to paint or powder coat them yourself.


Caliraised ones

At the helm ones

Total chaos ones

 

Excellent points. Just take in to consideration that the longer horizontal edge stiffeners will not allow a bed mat to sit flat unless you cut the bed mat. May not be a big deal for some. I just chose to design mine with the bed mat specifically in mind, while also using stainless instead of carbon steel.

 

I just ordered the TC, im hoping to install them before my campershell comes in next week. Looks like the TC might be hard to install with the shell on. I may just wait another week to pick up the shell

 

Great idea!

 

Uhhhh... just like my suspension from Toyota is awesome too? Ha!

 

Additional tie downs and bottle openers. Everything else is a plus.

 

Guys I finally joined the club and got these stickers. Anyone know what to do with the stupid pieces of L shaped metal they shipped with these for some reason? Also some bag of bolts. Seems dumb, could have saved on shipping.

 

I think its so you have something to put the stickers on

 

For some reason, I now have a compulsive urge to acquire @CaliRaisedLed or @ragofabrication bed stiffeners.

 

I've got the Rago bed stiffeners, my bed is now stiff. Do it.

 

Fuck yeah!!!

It’s like if someone calls you up and asks if you want to go party on their yacht. You say, “fuck yeah!”
