Extang Encore Tonno

I have a new Encore cover that I installed just a couple of weeks ago. I've decided to find something that will allow me to utilize the stock cargo management system. This tonno is in perfect condition. I paid over $900. Asking $850. Shipping will be an issue, so it needs to be local pickup in the Dallas, TX area.

 

does this cover require you to relocate the existing rails?

 

It requires removal of the rails. Unfortunately, Extang doesn't offer a clamp solution that works with the cargo management system. A guy could certainly fab something to drop the rails down. That's what BAK does but they do it with an aluminum plate and it's kind of flimsy.

 

Does anyone make or sell rail relocation brackets for these types of covers?

 

BAK sells a deck rail system drop kit that will lower the deck rails. I used these with my retractable cover and they work great.

Sweet. Thanks for the replies.

Are these BAK brackets stable ? Not sure i want to compromise tie-down stability for the cover.

 

This has not been an issue for me. That said, there is some flex if I pull in the track. Instead of being bolted directly to the side, the track is connected to the 1/4" steel bracket that is bolted to the side.

 

Have you already programmed the lock to your truck key?

 

Just bought a 2016, I put an Extang full tilt, that's what I hat on the 07. No folding, simple to take off if you need the whole bed open
