I have a 2018 GMC 3500 and a Bigfoot 25 c 94. I had to raise the camper 1" to avoid hitting the radius at the bottom of the tailgate opening. When loaded I have about 5/8" per side. In order to avoid hitting the side of the truck either loading or from shifting. I made front and rear guide blocks. The front ones are attached to full width, doubled up 2x4's ripped down to prevent camper from sliding forward ( I do not trust the two rubber bummers as the point load could damage the camper or truck bed). In the rear, the wedge guide blocks mount on a full width 1" board. The wedge blocks are 5" tall tapered for 2 1/2" to "guide" the camper into the exact centered position. Makes loading painless and no shifting during traveling.
How do you place the rear wedge blocks? What secures them? Are they placed against the sides of the bed?
