Other camper shells that would fit a 5th gen?

Clyde, there are no part number stickers on my springs, which are ORG and 6'4" bed. The truck only has a few hundred miles .
 
Lift, Tires, etc????

Lift, Tires, etc????
All specs are in my signature line but the lift is BDS 6” w/ BDS UCA’s, rims are Fuel Vectors 18 x 9 and tires are Nitto Ridge Grappler 12.5 x 35. BDS is the only lift I found that allowed 18” wheels (v 20”). I wanted more sidewall on the 35’s which is why I went 18”.
 
Well, I wanted to try a different route this time and so I bought a Softopper this week because they had a sale. I’ve only had it on for today so I will report back with more pictures and updates. I plan to run my tonneau most of the time and use this for camping or trips with the dog.
$729 shipped.
Hey 2Tacos, like it. How's it holding up? Will it withstand 75 mph highway speeds. Brand and site purchased from. Please let me know. Looks like an awesome solution for my needs.
 
I went with the leer 100XR, added the headliner and the removable back window... cost $2500 out the door. The rear hatch unlocks with the truck fob.

I’m very happy with it so far. Had a Leer on my last truck (Tundra), the paint outlasted the paint on the truck.
that looks great, unrelated what are the tires on your truck, I know are the stock 18" but the tires look like 33"s, if they are, stock suspension ? any rubbing of sorts, thanks dude!
 
Does anyone have a pic of a 4th gen cap fitted to a 5th gen ? Some good deals floating around on the older style caps just wondering what it looks like?
 
I am picking up a LEER model 122 with large side Windoors, Headliner, and Painted
to match for $2700 from the LEER Factory Outlet in Milton PA. Installation will be on
the morning of the 14th. This will go on my 2021 Laramie CC with a 6'-4" bed.

The bed of the 5th Gen is taller than the 4th Gen. A 4th Gen cap can be installed but the top of the cap will be higher than the cab of the truck. It will look “off” because the belt line of the 5th Gen is higher than the belt line of the 4th Gen. Box dimension between gens are the same so you could do it but you may not like the esthetics once installed - especially when looking at it from the front of the truck as you will see the cap (and the carve out for the CHMSL) stick up above the cab of the truck.
 
I have reused my leer cap that was on my 2018. The cap sits about .75-1” higher than it should as the Gen 5 bed sides are a bit taller compared to the Gen 4. Not a big deal for me as I was not ready to order a new one...

Got my LEER 100XQ installed today along with a BedRug. Not a huge fan of toppers, but had to get one in order to haul my drums around. I'm extremely happy with how it turned out..love it actually.
Now I clearly need to do something in the tire department.

Fiberglass canopies are too expensive these days. $3000 ?! No thanks. I paid $1800 for a 8’ leer canopy in 2008.
I’m planning on getting a softopper(~$800) if I don’t owe Uncle Sam too much in taxes this year.
Yeah my last one was an ARE that cost $2400 for an F150. After that I said “enough”. I just looked up the ARE dealers around Raleigh and their online ‘build your cap” tool doesn’t even list a RAM for 2019. ???
Leer does though.
 
I have an ATC "Colorado" shell, not as sexy as some of the Leer and Snugtop offerings, but it's been good so far. Was just under $2k installed for a mid-grade, heavy-duty version with some extras. Not cheap, but the best value I could find.
 
I just put a deposit down on a Leer 100R with the free carpet upgrade on the ceiling, sliding glass rear window, sliders, etc., for $2024 installed including tax. It is supposed to arrive in mid-January. This will be the second Leer 100R I’ve owned thus I wanted to stick with something I know to be quality and durable.

Installed today. Quality is better than my last one and is a perfect in very way.

That’s a good price. I had a 100r on my 3rd gen 2500. Did you ever have corrosion issues on your window frames? I was a bit shocked that I had that happen considering I don’t live in a corrosive environment.

Have never had a problem with my Leer toppers...Raider brand leaks like a sieve but my Leers have been rock solid. No issues including rust.
