2024 F-350 aluminum bed

[Oyster9]

Looks great - I am jealous of your craftsmanship skills. I am in the long-term planning stages for an aluminum subframe on a Super Duty, topped with a composite camper. A few questions:
- What is the deck height versus the original truck bed? It looks like you kept it very close to the stock height.
- The Super Duty does not have much upward rear suspension travel. How did you determine how high your wheel arches needed to be? I am curious if the wheel arches were eliminated, how much higher would the deck height need to be?

Looking forward yo your continued progress.

Thanks carterd,
very close to stock height.
Ford has publications for wheel travel and other up fitter guidelines.
I made these arches couple inches taller than recommended for tire chain clearance and suspension or tire size changes.
I would think the deck height would be at least 6" taller without arches
