  1. I went with the truck fold rough country. My buddy told me a bakflip would have fit without mod. The cover too but they are 500$ more than the rough country. I don’t have pictures of what I did to the cover but on the front section (closest to the cab) it had 4 clamp down brackets. I removed the two further away from the cab. Then I slid the clamps to each end of the box and had to cut the gasket on the box. I nipped the corner of the gasket off for the back of the box but towards the bed I had to notch out a few inches. The boxes have inner seals and I have the cover so I am really not concerned about the trimming. I was also thinking of re-drilling the holes in the boxes to drop the boxes down but it would have maybe given me 3/4” and I probably would have still had to do these other thing so I never did that but might work for you.
  2. What kind of cover are you getting? I ended up trimming the box gasket on the front and back and didn’t install the middle clamp. I can post pictures of where I relocated them tomorrow. I also have a bed slide I am waiting to install. I want a 1/4” aluminum diamond plate top with a removable center piece to still utilize my gooseneck.
  3. I found a dealer that had them in stock and picked them up Tuesday and Got them all installed last night. They are pretty nice considering all the other options just utilize the area closest to the tailgate and your still going to be spending 800$ for decent boxes. If you look around online you can order for 900$ and they said they can get them pretty quick as well. I get the gm discount is why I decided to get from the dealer. I was a little weary going into it that they are plastic but feel solid, look nice, bigger than I expected, and easy installation. The downfalls, you do loose all your tie down points as those are what it mounts to. I have a bed slide and am putting E track on it so I’m not concerned. Also I have a trifold hardtop bed cover. The cover and the boxes had all kinds of interferences working together but got to work after a few modifications to the cover and the boxes. I will be tooling them up this week and will share more photos as I go. I will be adding better lighting in the bed as well and possibly inside the boxes.
  4. No update, I was told they are on backorder indefinitely. Doesn’t sound good. I was planning on calling a couple other local dealers to see what they can do. Maybe one has some in stock. I can locate the ones for the 1500 but the HD ones I’m pretty sure are different. Any input on where to look anyone?
  5. I just ordered them, I’ll give you all an update in a few weeks once I get them and my truck.
