I have a regular cab but I grounded my amp on the metal below the plastic sill trim piece.. Just remember to make sure the area you ground on is clean, paint/grease/contaminant-free, and won't get kicked or impacted easily..

so you can just pull the carpet up (like under the back seats) and just run a bolt or screw in there and thats it? thanks for the info by the way

In my 99 ext cab i have my amp under the middle back seat and just ground it to one of the bolts that bolts the seat to the chassis, just sand the area a little to get the best connection,,, also keep your ground as short as possible for best performance
