Any Suggestions how to make a Ram 1500 Crew Cab 6 4 Bed look shorter?

[Ashman47]

I just got my truck, I'm passed the grace period of 3 days. It looks like a bus! I didn't realize how long it was until I viewed it from the side. Anybody else have pictures of stuff they did to their truck to make it look shorter?

Lift and big tires

You could try an over the rail tool box to visually shorten it or maybe a roll bar. This isn't the 6'-4" bed but kind of gives you an idea of how the tool box changes the look.

Paint vertical stripes on it Should make it look taller and skinnier.

That’s funny. After owning nothing but 6’4” beds I think my 5’7” looks ridiculously small for a pick up truck.

this! i could and would never own a 5'7 bed, way to short and IMO it looks goofy as hell with a crew cab let alone a mega cab. quadcab looks fine though. if my quad and dirt bike cant fit in the bed without closing the tailgate, im not getting it. i bought 2 steel shelves from home depot for the garage and it fit perfectly, i looked at my wife and said THAT is why i wouldnt buy a 5'7 bed.

Trade it in and go retro with a Rumble Bee!

But it shrunk the rear cab instead.

I agree. I felt very lucky to find my Limited with a 6'4" bed. To me it looks way more balanced.

Sometimes I wish I had a 6'4" bed. Sometimes

If I could have ordered an 8' bed on my '21 Laramie CC, I would have done it.

The 5'7" and the 6'4" beds both look short to me.

I'm still not used to how short my 5'7" bed looks, especially seeing it parked next to my older Ram with an 8' bed.

I've always driven 8' bed trucks before my 1500.

Add a Rambar, if it will fit your truck. I have one on my 5’-7” bed, and it makes the bed look like 3’ long.

I think I'm going to put a 2.5 Moto Fab leveling kit on it and put 35 inch tires on it.

If you want to go 3” instead of 2.5, I have the one off my truck you can have free. I swapped to coilovers so I don’t need it anymore

Looks like $1,135 plus installation (if you don’t do it yourself).
