I had a roll up tonneau which added an inch or so to the bed height. When the dealer install the GB the distance between the bottom of the 5r and the top of the tonneau rails was a little over 4". I questioned the service manager about this and his answer was 'We've installed a lot of these and that's the correct distance.
Long story short, while backing up, the 5r and truck got at too different of an angle from each other. The tonneau rail poked a hole in the underside of the 5r.
I went online and looked up the directions for installing the GB. If I remember correctly, the minimum was supposed to be close to 8".
I went back to the dealer and had them lower the GB 1 set of holes. That increased the distance between the two to fix the problem.
BTW, guess who was on the hook to pay for and install a whole new overhang underside. Hint, it wasn't me.
