I want to pull my bed come springtime to do the exact same thing. Planning on grinding all that flaky undercoating off from underneath, and Raptor line the underneath as well as inside the bed.
That they were. We decided to switch it over to 16s, since 16.5" tires are, for all intents and purposes, unobtainium (Unless of course, you don't mind taking out a second mortgage to buy tires!!!).
