I haven't been able to. It looks like the rearmost bed support is an inch taller, but it's the only one that's that way. Puzzling. I will try to measure it tomorrow if my back doesn't kill me first... Lol. Oh, and WorkinLonghorn-on the bottom of my post with the picture, I wrote that the bed is still pushed back for working area purposes. After I weld the front extension on the passenger side, I need some clearance to try and pry that front bed panel in. Then I will slide it up another 4"and work on mounting it. After that, I'll be cutting out the metal floor and laying down wood, the factory bed was yellow pine, so I may just go back to that. Don't want it crazy nice or I'll never use it.
