I just pre-ordered one from a local dealer. They are saying June. I could have the white contractor version tomorrow, but I'm not sure how that would look on a white Rebel.

For those of you that have the RSI Smartcap & the Decked system (on a 1500), has it made an impact on your suspension? I already have the Decked system I’m about to pull the trigger on the RSI. Just wondering if I’ll need to upgrade the suspension or will the stock setup be fine. Laramie Sport 1500
I have a 2 inch level in the front so I was getting about a 1/2 inch lower in the back, more when I have the roof top tent on and packed with gear for camping or hunting, but I just got some Timber Grove air bags after my first weekend out, pops the back end back up to level and rides great, plus its a bonus to help level the tent when setting up on uneven ground.For those of you that have the RSI Smartcap & the Decked system (on a 1500), has it made an impact on your suspension?

Thanks for the info. Yeah, we are taking a cross country trip mid June and will be loaded down with camp gear and coolers. I was looking at the Falcon 2.25” Sport Tow/Haul Shock Leveling System if I needed to do an upgrade. I just love how it rides now and don't want to make it too stiff for daily driving.I have a 2 inch level in the front so I was getting about a 1/2 inch lower in the back, more when I have the roof top tent on and packed with gear for camping or hunting, but I just got some Timber Grove air bags after my first weekend out, pops the back end back up to level and rides great, plus its a bonus to help level the tent when setting up on uneven ground.
I've had the Decked for almost a year now and it has been a game changer. I've wanted the RSI for about the same time but needed to save up a bit for that upgrade. Hopefully I can get it ordered and installed before my trip in June. Looks like they are back-ordered thru mid May. Fingers crossedZero impact for me
Have both! It's a great combo!
Don't have much experience vinyl wrapping things but the cap comes shipped to your door in 5 pieces so I am assuming it would be pretty easy to wrap each piece before assembling it.Any thoughts from the folks who have one ... how hard would it be to vinyl wrap one?
I'm very tempted to get the EvoC Commercial with the solid sides and rear security glass ... it seems like it would be a fairly straight forward wrap. The fact that it's modular with no extreme curves and the side panels don't have extra breaks from the glass like on the Evo Sport. (I can live with the white showing on the inside and around the inner frames of the door).
Or just rock a white cap on granite gray? lol
Nice! on Granite as well.... hmmmJust installed commercial smart cap.
Would you mind sharing a few more photos, from a big further away that's eye level and dead on looking at the side and rear?Just installed commercial smart cap.

Thanks for posting that. After considering this as an option (despite the price), the complaints of water leaking (combined with me living in a northern climate) is enough to give me a hard pass.Great writeup on the install and what seems like an honest review: https://www.f150forum.com/f7/rsi-smartcap-evo-2018-f150-review-473893/
So far happy with cap but disappointed with company. Received the smartcap Friday. No harness for 3rd brake light in box. Reported to dealer. It's now Wednesday and dealer said they're getting the runaround. No harnesses in US and one has to ship from SA. Really? Open up the boxes in warehouse and ship harness from existing set. This is silly. Of course RSI is sending all calls to VM.
Just ordered a Decked so I will have the exact same setup!
