    I'm calculating how much weight is on my truck when it's loaded.
    --Does any one have an estimate of what a hard shell topper weighs for a crew cab tundra? I want to set my new leafs up correctly the first time!! Thanks!!

    My century mid rise is ~250lbs for 6.5feet. I would assume yours is 175-225lbs

    If you want to set it up right then get the truck weighed.

    Manufacturers are notorious for underselling the weights they claim just so you know.

    But I imagine it is close,maybe.

    Function before sparkle.
    ^ this. And they don't include clamps or options added to the canopy.

    Thank you all!!! I really just need to get in the ball park as all my other numbers are accurate. Now, I'm just trying to figure out the max lift in the rear for The OME shocks I have in the back to make sure that I don't over extend them when the truck isn't running with my full load.:benchpress:
