Big Shout out to Jim for passing on his rough country leveling kit to me. I couldn't be more grateful. The install is pretty straight forward and only took me a couple hours in my driveway.

I also ordered a midsize bed rack from Hot Metal Fab. Great costumer service and quick turn around time. Again Install was very easy and it fit very nicely for being a universal bed rack. Here's a few pictures of the mock up before paint.

And here it is after a few coats of primer and paint. I do recommend having it powder coated and plan to have that done here soon.

Looks good. How do the center sections work? They look like they are adjustable for bed width. I can't see anything clamping or locking the bars in place.

Yea they are adjustable it comes with a handful of self tapping screws to hold it all on place. Honestly though on a smaller truck i dont know that you really need them. I used 4 all together one on each end to make it easier to pull it off and not have to mess with adjusting it everytime.
