I haven't been able to move beyond that same conclusion. I was just hoping someone else had already dealt with this but it seems that's not the case. I will definitely revisit this forum thread and...

These are exactly the type of issues I’m trying to predict and prevent. Thanks for sharing your painful moments to help us not have to repeat them. I’m certain we’ll have our own to share!

Great shot! The Coke can provides a good relative size/distance reference. Trying to remember if you said you had the 5.5' or 6.5' bed length on your truck. Also recalling you have a steel rail-mount...
