Think he's talking about the tailgate and rollpan combo

looks like a smooth tailgate skin and a rollpan all in one. I'd never heard of it either so

Yes you can keep the stock lights. I have seen all kinds of different bracing. I think the most important part are the cross bars from side to side and then a little diagonal piece or two.

Just search "installing a cali combo" Truckin and Mini Truckin have done several How To articles on it.
most just do as mentioned.... basically weld a 1x1 across the top low enough for the skin to sit flush and then a diagonal to keep the bed square and prevent warping it.. weld it in and done. some people throw more cross bars for more rigidity... up to you
