how much space does it take up toward the front of the bed?

It does take up a bit of room. But since I don't transport a LOT Of stuff that's fine for me. If I was a contractor I would use a different cover. Bu for me, it'll work great. I like how solid it is. I don't like the canister BUT they are necessary. I also like that it has the T-Slots so I can use accessories from Thule and Yakima

Oh and Q number 2- did you drill through the spray on liner into the drain ports or did you buy separate drain covers? Saw some folks doing that, buying a factory drain covering just so they don't have to mess with the fully coated one.

drilled the hole - it’s just a drain capnot sure why anybody would buy a second one

installation is pretty easy

What is the exact height distance after the install in the bed? I have something that is just over 22 inches.

Yes please.

I really want one of these for for my current 21 150 but I keep putting it off because I don't feel like having to take it off (and putting it on the lightning later). Maybe I should just do it anyway.. can't be that hard to do right? How long did your install take?

Thanks for the pictures. Can you do one more measurement: bottom of bed to top of cover?

I mean... you can go measure your bed lol. It's basically the same as your bed rails

Good point. Ford says the bed is 21.4 inches or something close to that. I was hoping it raised it by an inch, I have a 22 inch cooler.

I'm assuming you don't have your truck yet which is why you are asking?
