Truxedo Sentry CT and Elevate Rack

[AppHighlander]

Has anyone installed the Truxedo Sentry CT and Elevate Rails and Rack on their Ranger?

I'm struggling! The first cover I ordered was the Bak X4s and it was too wide with the Elevate Rails. The company I ordered from exchanged for the Sentry CT. I tried to install the Sentry CT but it was too wide also. Truxedo is sending another cover because the original Sentry CT was 1/2" too wide. I should get the new Sentry CT cover next week but even if it is the correct width, I believe it will sit too high because of the Elevate rails and there will be a huge gap at the bulkhead and the tailgate. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Not my rig, but my folks, have the Elevate rack with the Truxedo Lo-pro:

Not sure why they would be having an issue with the sentry- the rack should not have any affect on the height or fit of the tonneau.

NWRanger, Thanks for the reply and the pictures. I took a look at the Truxedo Lo-Pro and the difference is that the Sentry CT rails are L shaped and sit on top of the Elevate Rack rails. The Lo-Pro has a straight wall that you could adjust up and down. Thanks!

Following this, because I'm interested in the Elevate system, too, but I have the stock tri-fold tonneau cover. I saw another Ranger this weekend with Elevate system and a tri-fold cover (IIRC it was an Elevate-brand cover), and it seemed to work ok. I just got this one pic as a reference, but in retrospect, I should have taken a few more. It was in the parking lot, and the driver wasn't around, so I couldn't ask any questions.
