Concur, same here.
IMHO this might be related to a lack of the normal leaf spring suspension usual under a truck bed.

This list is pretty good when I was looking into it.

I talked with Hiatus and they can make their product for the Lightning. They've installed on Lightnings before.

Confirming you are talking about a shell (also called a cap) and NOT a slide in camper. As noted above, a slide in camper is not recommended.
No problem with a shell however. Mine should be here in a couple weeks. This is my 3rd pickup and all have had a shell. Both of the first two were SnugTop and I have highly recommended them. That is what I ordered for my Lightning in early March. However, shortly thereafter the Trump tariff war started and it turns out that SnugTop shells are manufactured in Mexico. SnugTop is now owned by Leer. Leer's factory is in Indiana. As a result of the tariffs, the SnugTop manufacturing is being moved to the Leer factory in indiana. That has NOT gone smoothly apparently. Last I talked to the local dealer a few weeks ago, they were quoted a start manufacture date for my shell in late November. The lady suggested that they could change my order a similar Leer shell and have it in about a month. They even gave me a discount because I have had to wait so long. While on the phone with her I looked at the Leer website at the almost identical shell to what I had originally ordered, and changed my order.
