It was 25% off when I bought it. Also had $200+ in rewards points to use. So it ended up a good bit less than a Retrax. If not for that, I would’ve just bought the Retrax.@RCF71 , looking at that too. Is it any less expensive through GM?
Looks good
looks greatFinally got around to installing this after picking it up a couple of weeks ago. It’s the Chevy Accessories rebranded Retrax with aluminum slats and “T” slot rails. A bit of a pain in the rear to do by yourself…

I'd have to see a side profile, but it looks too tall. Proportions between wheel well and tires have alway been the weak link on GM trucks. You have to lift alot to clear 35s, but by the time you're done, you need 37s.Well....I may have went a bit big. I was going to do just a 4 inch, but the shop told me I needed certain parts that I previously re-done, so they said the 6 inch was the best option...what do y'all think? Left is before, right is after

I wished I could have done 4" and not 6Too high for my taste. 4" was the perfect height IMPO
Then your fucked, cause you ain't jamming 37s under a truck that can't handle 34s without trimming a lot or a ginormous lift that makes you truck look weird.It's on 37s lol!
Yes, the shocks are still there. I went with the 6+2 from readylift. I wished i could have gone with the 4+2, but the shop that done it said because I had previously done a level kit with different UCAs, that the 6+2 would be the only one that would work correctly, so I went with that one. There's not a LOT of rubbing. Just slightly at full lock. Minor trimming was done. Only thing is that it's a bit big.Then your fucked, cause you ain't jamming 37s under a truck that can't handle 34s without trimming a lot or a ginormous lift that makes you truck look weird.
Did they keep the Multimatic shocks?

I have a buddy who has the Lomax. I don't care for it when compared to the BAK MX4. The quality and the way the panel rubber gaskets look where the panels fold look sketchy. The MX4 appears to be superior in several ways and has a 5-year warranty versus the Lomax 3-year warranty. I have the MX4 on my new truck and, I must say, I love this thing! You can get a MX4 for around $1100.Anyone try a Lomax folding hard cover on theirs? I had one on my Gen 2 Raptor and I loved it. Doesn't block the rear window when folded and easy to install and remove. Never leaked and decently priced.
If I'm not mistaken, it blocks more of the bed when not folded up against the window than the Lomax does, and I didn't want to have a design that blocks my rear window view. Also, the waterproofing, from what I've read re the MX4 is less effective. The Lomax didn't leak at all no matter what I ran it through. However, I am not a Lomax loyalist, it just worked well on my last truck, so I'll take a look at the BAK and see what I can find out. Thanks for the reply.I have a buddy who has the Lomax.

I've got the Bak MX4. It works well and looks great. Time will tell if it proves to be durable, but it is not hard use and is susceptible to dust and water intrusion.If I'm not mistaken, it blocks more of the bed when not folded up against the window than the Lomax does, and I didn't want to have a design that blocks my rear window view.

I use my rear view mirror camera to look out the back so I never have to look out the rear window so that wasn't even a consideration for me. We're getting a TON of rain from Debbie right now and my bed is dry. I can't speak to dust as we don't have that like Axe has in AZ. I think a lot of it has to do with the quality and alignment of the installation of the cover and not the cover itself. The gasketing on the MX4 is definitely superior to that of my buddy's Lomax. I like the look of the Lomax a lot and it's very low profile like the MX4, I just wasn't impressed with the rubber gaskets Lomax uses. Don't get me wrong as it is a fine cover...just not for me.If I'm not mistaken, it blocks more of the bed when not folded up against the window than the Lomax does, and I didn't want to have a design that blocks my rear window view.
