Laying 4x4 Sheetmetal on a 1990 Mazda with 22's

Does anyone know if there is a difference in 2x2 and 4x4 bed height on an extended cab mazda? Most that I have seen have had 2x2 sheetmetal. With my 22's they stick over the top of the bed about 3 inches. Truck has been SFBD laying flat rocker.
Spec:
Wheel 8.5 x 22 +35 offset
Tire 255/30/22 (smallest I can find)

Nope, same bed height, just the flares over the wheel wells are different.  The beds are also the same size once you get past the body line.

smallest 22 inch tire is 235-30-22 as of right now.  The mazda on 24s is laying frame, not body.  DIB did build a mazda that layed body on 22s.

The crazy thing is he still has a good 11/2 to 2 inch before the tire comes over the bed. Cutting the pinch I only lost like right at an inch maybe. It is agrevating the crap out of me to the point I want to sell the 22's and put 20's on it so I can finish the truck.
