My suggestion was to swap the stock bed with a "flat bed" type bed. Not a farm truck bed, but a nice one with storage, etc. I personally like that look on a dually better than the factory bed. I would think the arms would clear that.

On another not, I think you need to be about 6'4" to reach any thing in a truck bed now even a half ton. I guess that is why GM and Ford have built in steps in the sides of their HD's now.
