Got my advance cover today

Recieved my advance cover today and got it installed. Install took about 1/2 hour. They changed the design on it now and have two rails that run along the bed for all of the latches and the hinge. They also have the latches attached to the tumbler instead of the lever coming out of the seal. Got some pics, it is raining cats and dogs tonight so we will see how it does.

It is an aluminum cover, I believe it is wrapped around a stainless honeycomb type core.

Cover looks good. I take it your suspension is fine. The angle of your driveway make your truck appear to be jacked up in the rear like a 70's muscle car.

Yeah, I guess setting the brake caused the front to dive or the rear to go up, but I am running the stock suspension. I have a pretty good angle on my driveway. I usually pull striaght up and park on the side of the garage where it is flat, I never noticed it haveing such a pronounced rake untill I saw the pic. I did squeeze it into the garage for the first time that morning so it could dry out from some overnight/morning showers, I backed in untill I bumped the wall in the back and lowered the door by hand first, had about 1/2" clearence for the door to go down.
