Well, it's definitely taller than I'd like, and that's after cutting off 4.5 inches! It sits 4" above the cab. Good news is that any lower and I don't think it would clear the front crossbar when folding the top. The rear crossbar is removable with 2 wire lock pins.
I need to remake the two rear extensions because I cut them narrow close, trying to follow the taper of the bed--so I can't snap the side panels in on the rear. Too bad, because the close fit looked great.
I used 1/4 abs sheeting cut into strips in order to fill the gap between my extensions. Works great and keeps the topper rails from bending.
1/4" thick was the right way to go! The plates don't flex at all. The bed rail will flex before the plates do and I can rock the truck by swaying the rack.
