DeeZee makes a piece for the front bed rail to match your tailgate protector. It's diamond plate wraps over the top of the rail and goes all the way down inside to the floor of the bed. I have their catalog handy it's called the Brite-Tread Full Front Box Protector you might go search for that on their website or something. I'm thinking about getting one of those and the tailgate one too for my rig. As for the rockers I think JC Whitney or Styling Concepts carries rolls of adhesive backed diamond plate that you can trim up and stick on down there. Don't know if it's quality stuff though. Personally I think diamond plate rockers would be overkill but to each his own it aint my truck.

I'll check out the front box protector, but I don't want to spend a million bucks on it. I may buy a piece of diamond plate and just have my buddy bend it for me. Whatever costs less. The reason I wanted the diamond plate rockers was to match the caps and the smooth stuff shows every tiny dent and imperfection. If I didn't do so much driving and had more of a show truck or something that sees little driving time I would go stainless rockers.
They've got the front bed caps too that just sit on the top like the bedrail caps. Those are probably a lot cheaper and all you'd need really.
Fire Rescue124 I think I did bedrail caps and tailgate for $110 from my local truck accesories shop I also got a full toolbox that wasn't a deezee but only set me back $275 which I though was a smokin deal. I know Tractor Supply keeps deezee accessories in stock if you have one of those down there near you in TX.

On the '05, after the liner was sprayed over the rails, we put the factory plastic tailgate liner back on and installed the tailgate spoiler/protector/handle over that.
