07 ford cab clearance

with my tc on my 99 ford i had no issues with the cab over clearance. but on my 07 crew cab it wont clear. on our first trip i jus threw a few 2x10's across the bed floor and strapped her down and rolled out.

i was thinking about using two 2x6 boards as cross beams with a valley cut in them for for the height and centering of the TC. then fill the gaps with pink foam board. also figure i would cut the 2x6's long enough to fit into the factory notches in the bed for boards

jus wanna see what you other ford guys have done. i know its a common problem with ford cabs.

here is a drawing i made to help visualize what i'm tryin to say

    It's not the 07 that's the problem as the cab height has remained the same from 1999 to 2013 on the Super Duty. You just got lucky with your 99, as the combo of cab style and drop-in liner snuck it in.


    yeah I didn't mean the 07 was a different build I figured I got lucky lol and being new to it there is a whole lot to learn. I figured when we loaded the camper on the new truck it would be close or not possible and I was right hahaha. I your be leaning towards the build the camper up because I'm gonna put 5th wheel rails in to
