Hopefully you got it through Amazon or eBay free returns if it doesn’t! The resale on these covers suck!Got my shipping notification. Revolver X4 is supposed to get here Saturday. Hopefully this thing works out!
Hey, sorry for the late reply. I've been on the road since the 13th and did not see your post. The Right On Brackets are made to replace the plastic brackets that Ram uses in the Ram 1500s with the MFT but no Ramboxes. Here's a link to the website if you want to check them out: https://rightonbracket.com/product/ram-truck-bed-brackets/ I believe if you search Right On brackets in the forum, you will see lots of posts and pictures of people who have used them to install tonneau covers that wouldn't otherwise work with the Ram brackets.right on brackets?
If it doesn't work with the brackets I plan to use it without any brackets. I had an MX4 on my last Ram and I liked it except for not being able to see it my back window with it folded all the way up. That is why I went with the X4 this timeHopefully you got it through Amazon or eBay free returns if it doesn’t! The resale on these covers suck!
I have a “used like new” MX4 coming in tomorrow. I’ll post it up if it works, my gator recoil sags pretty bad...
Yeah that is kind of a pain, i rarely have enough in the bed to flip it all the way up, maybe once or twice. The MX4 i got was 680, so figured i would give it a whirl.If it doesn't work with the brackets I plan to use it without any brackets.

Also, do you have any reservations without the brackets? I probably ran them for a month without the brackets. Couldn't figure out what they supported.If it doesn't work with the brackets I plan to use it without any brackets.

I do have some reservations but not right to stop me from using a cover I want. I figure my tailgate is closed almost all the time and when I use the barn door style I am not putting weight on itAlso, do you have any reservations without the brackets?

Don't worry, Kooch. I have faith that the Revolver will fit and work perfectly with the Right On brackets.I do have some reservations but not right to stop me from using a cover I want.

That looks great, Kooch! Now that I know it can be done, I will order my Revolver X4 asap, and I will be sure to remind them to include all of the right parts. Thanks for showing us the way.I received the Revolver X4 yesterday, already had the right on brackets (thank you for your quick shipping). BAK must have terrible quality control. I had everything but one part was wrong, luckily it was a cheap and easy to replace part, a lock nut. Still pisses me off though, it is a $1000 cover and they can't even get that right. I wish I would've checked the width of the bed at the cab and at the tailgate before starting. The biggest issue with install was getting the rails wide enough at the cab end. I ended up cutting part of the rail on one side to make it fit over the bracket and make it work. But make it work I did. It does not close well with the tailgate closed but there is room for adjustment. I might be happier with the tight seal there and just leave it though. If the right on brackets were 1/8 to 1/4 thinner on the side the rails attach they might work without trimming.

I don't think it will be an issue where I cut the rail. The rails are cut on the tailgate end from the factory in the same fashion. The cab end is where I am just likely to get water intrusion from. I definitely do not think this top will be water proof, probably not as good as the Backflip MX4 I had in my last Ram. I added more foam on top of what was provided, not seen in picture.Neato -the cover looks awesome. Do you feel like the cut rail could be a source of major water intrusion? How does it seal at the top?
Also, where does the X4 drop in to connect with the rails?
Pete, your brackets work great and I have been following your progress on them since you started posting on here. I was trying to provide some feedback was all. Completely happy with your product. The widened holes are a big help with alignment in regards to where there is more spray from the liners. What looked like was going to be a difficult spot to get bolts in were in fact no problem because of the hole design on your brackets. I purchased the top knowing full well that modifications were highly probable. Thanks again for your work on the brackets, you are the only one in the industry doing anything that works!Good evening everyone,
We're working on different designs to combat the tight installation fit. The issue is the spray on bed liner can be thicker in the corners, causing the bracket to be off slightly. We created our brackets using the OEM hole design. We're working on widening the holes or creating slots instead. Here's a like to our RAM Truck Bed Bracket product page:

From having conversations with everyone we've worked with, seems like these brackets have been working great for the most part! We understand installation can be tricky and if they don't work for you, just send them back for a full refund!
Thanks everyone for working with us on this! We're a shelving/countertop support bracket company really making a push into the automotive industry it seems like!
Also, keep sending us installation photos! We love seeing our products on your new trucks!

How's the rigidity of the cover? From the videos it looks like it sags a bit when pressed on.I don't think it will be an issue where I cut the rail.

Haven't tested that really, just went out and pressed on it though. Feels less rigid than the Backflip did. That is a very subjective question thoughHow's the rigidity of the cover? From the videos it looks like it sags a bit when pressed on.
