There was one on my truck when i bought it, since then i have traded it for the stock bed. Anyways, it looked like they placed some 1" squared tube between the bed mounts and the newer bed to raise it up. I also think there was a bumper issue with the type of bumber that was on my truck, because the factory bumper was thrown in the bed.
