Show me your bed cover!
I've been looking for a bed cover for a step side truck, but I'm kinda skeptical without seeing any pics. I want a soft cover for the weight savings, and I'd like to be able to remove it fairly easily, completely and rolling a corner back to reach in the bed.
TIA

I'll have to post a pic when I get home, but I highly recommend the Ultra Lift by LeBra. I has gas shocks on it and hinges up like the hard covers do. I've had one of 3 1/2 years. I left it unhooked once last Thanksgiving and the wind got a hold of it and mangled it, I called them up to re-order replacement parts, and they sent everything out for FREEEEE, even the cover itself which got torn. Awesome Customer Service, GREAT product, $250 or so from Summit. What's not to like.
BTW, they didn't even ask for a receipt, when I bought it, where I bought it, nothing. Just sent the new parts and said that even tho I left it unhooked, (I told them the truth) that the shocks should have held it. The ends broke off of them from 60mph winds.

i've got the Extang RT cover and its pretty good, theres no flapping problem with it at all. its a pretty good all around cover that sits only about 1/2 inch above the rails. i know you've got the internet so look it up to see if it fits ur stepside.

I'm sure they make one that fits it .... but there's no pictures they have of it, they all have regular cookie cutter pics of clean installs. I wanna see it installed on a step side.

A lot of them say they use clamps to hold the things down with, but there's no bed rails like on the fleet side to clamp to. It's just smooth. There are some stake pockets, but I figured it would need something in the middle to hold it down, not just on 4 corners.

Here. This is what I have, a fold-a-cover. Love it. Here's it on my truck
and here it is on a stepside I found
this is that same truck with a pace edwards TracTop. I'm considering this as it sits flush with the bedrails, and not on top.

Here's one of my Checkmate cover. Its got quick release hinges with struts and I can take it off in about two min. or so. Its pretty good for a soft cover and really light. They also make them for stepsides as well. www.checkerpro.com
