That looks really good Bob, and you will be able to use your entire bed with that setup for loads. Do you ever plan on using a fifth wheel or goose neck setup, or just bumper pull anything in the future?

Looks great. I have a BAK Fibermax and a BedRug bed mat in my '13 1500 and I just placed my order for a '19 2500 on Friday (w/ RAMBoxes), but I couldn't find info for the '19s on the manufacturer websites yet.

Are these the same part numbers as the 2018's?

I purchased them from AutoAnything.com since they have a 1 year price guarantee

I've got a BedRug Bed Mat in my current my 1500 and definitely want to add it to the new 2500. I just found out BedRug does not make the Bed Mats for the 6'4" beds with RAMBoxes.

I'm curious if anyone's ever tried buying the standard 6'4" Bed Mat and then trimming the sides... And how it'd look.

Sorry...I misread your post....that is for the Bedrug liner which I just installed on my 2019 Ram 3500 and fits perfect...but not the Bedrug mat :(

No worries... You had me second-guessing myself for a moment there.

I plan on ordering a mx4 for my new 20 3500 when it gets here but I don't like the backflip plastic tool box an plan on getting a hd Lund tool chest. My question is this, the Lund box is 19 " high an to the top of the bed rail is about 20.2". When i put on the mx4 will it come down into the bed further than an 1". If it's an inch or less I should be good

I have a 2019 3500 with the MX4. There is about 18.5” between the bed floor and the bottom of the Bakfilp.

So your saying that the cover comes 1.5" down into bed. If that's the case, the Lund box would not fit. I contacted someone from back flip a while back an they said it would not sit lower than an 1" down into bed, but you know those chat representatives don't always give accurate info. Also I think the back flip instruction manual said it came with optional bed rail weather stripping to set mounting rail on wich would lift it up a fraction more

The cover rail does drop below the top of the side. I didn’t measure how much. The curious thing is that at the back of the bed, bottom of cover to bed floor measured 20.5”. I bought a tool box made by UWS that is about 17.5” high.

We'll that's interesting but would work great for me. The Lund I'm after offs exactly 19" high, so I'm thinking if the mx4 doesn't drop lower than a inch id be good

As a side note, I had the Bakbox on my pervious truck and didn’t like it at all. It wouldn't hold much nor support much weight.
