[QUOTE="Bracamonte, post: 1629500, member: 48290"] I've spent A LOT of time reading and looking at Youtube. I've settled on the UpTop TRUSS rack, and the TuffStuff Alpha II RTT. The TRUSS has a Retrax XR rail version that mounts on my Retrax cover. I'm going with mid-height so that RTT should be right at roofline. The rack weighs 36lbs! and seems very solid. The TuffStuff Alpha II tent just came out and is the competitor to iKamper Skybridge Mini - so it'll fit the bed of the Raptor without having to extend over the cab roof. It's very similar to the Condor, but only costs $2199!! It's been found that all these tent companies (other than iKamper) are sourcing their designs and materials from the same Chinese companies, which is why they are so similar. The U.S. companies just make small detail changes, accessory changes, and add their own logo. (iKamper differs bc it's made in S Korea.) And yes, extending RTT much past the roofline will definitely increase NOISE and decrease MPG. Might not matter to you if you have cashola for gasoline and good loud music to play in the cab.
