This might help aerodynamics, since from the picture they look like they stick out a bit.

Wow, that's an awesome bed mod! I see that guy's posts were made in january. I hope he found some funding and a market. What a nice piece of workmanship that was. A lot of truck owners like me are going to be either looking for these things or trying to build them themselves just out of necessity pretty soon. 4mpg savings on the highway. That's nice, very nice. My hat goes off to Brett Herndon.
You guys are right about the height of the truck too. It doesn't need to be that high. Next time I load up, I guess I should see how much the load sinks the tail end. I'm thinking somewhere around 4 inches but can't be quoted on that yet.
Good ideas guys. If you have anymore, I'm listening.
