Howdy all!

I finally got a bed rack installed for heading up to northern Arizona but I am curious if anyone has installed/made any bed stiffener or support strut system for this kind of setup?

Thanks for taking a look and any suggestions!

From what I've read, bed stiffeners aren't really needed on our trucks since the bed is made of metal. They are used on Tacomas with the composite beds.

that was a thought too!, i appreciate the tip. Bed is pretty solid and i don't think I'm going to to put a RTT on it so the weight should get too crazy.
