4x4 bed decals

This thread is referring to the 2000-2002 '4x4 OFF ROAD' decals, and the 2000-2004 '4x4' decals. I replaced the 'FX4' decals that came on my truck to the MY correct '4x4 OFF ROAD' decals. I ordered them from Ford and they came on a template to line everything up. Now, I have noticed that other 00-02 trucks I see have the decals higher than mine, almost on the body line. I lined everything up to the template, but mine is about 5/8" from the body line to the top of the '4' in '4x4'. Other trucks are about 3/16" from the body line to the top of the '4' in 4x4'. I know I am arguing over fractions of an inch, but it seems strange. Which is correct as installed at the factory?

I wonder if the variation can be sorted by the assembly plant? I don't know how many different plants there were but it seems reasonable that different places could apply the decal differently.

I have a 2002 f350 and my 4x4 decals are 5/8" from the body line. I have owned it since new so I know the decals are in the right place.

Mine are about 3/8 to the top of the decal. Are you talking about the edge of the decal or the edge of the "4" in the decal?

Mine are 5/8" from the top edge of the clear decal portion of the '4' in '4x4'.

Are there different 4x4 decals for 2000's? I don't have 4x4 decals on mine and I assume it's due to the truck being painted. How do I know it I have an "off road" version?
