Changing my setup to clear cab - Thoughts?
My 2001 Bigfoot doesn't clear my 1999 cab roof without being raised in the bed. I need ~2.5 to 3" of lift to make it work. For a couple of years I've gone with a thick rubber mat, then 2" of foam shee...

Well, mission complete... At least for now. My camper is stored at a storage facility 15 miles from the house and I can't take the camper off the truck at my house to do work because the street is too sloped. I therefore had to do the work at the storage yard which meant limited tools. Thanks to all of you who offered suggestions but in the end, I went with my original idea because it was the easiest logistically. Here is what I did...
1: Truck Bed Mat
2: 1/2" pressure treated plywood
3: 2" of Pink High Density Foam-board (2 1" sheets stacked together)
4: 1/2" pressure treated plywood
5: Truck Bed Mat
I glued everything together with liquid nails. I haven't gotten to drive around with the setup just yet but I will be taking a trip down to Pismo Beach in a couple of weeks and that will be a good first test.
For those wondering, prior to this I just had 3" of pink foam with no plywood and over time the foam compressed around the edges of the camper. Not much, but enough that I decided it was worth redoing it all with the plywood to give a firmer point for the camper sidewalls to rest on.
