Default tonneau cover and toolbox?

I am looking at putting the swingcase toolboxes in my truck but I have a fold up cover. Before I order them does anyone have these with a folding cover? I am concerned there will not be enough room to reach the lever to fold the cover up with the toolboxes. I assume I can swing the boxes out to open the cover. Thanks for any info

I have an Extang Encore folding hard cover & have plenty of clearance, but I don't have any levers to open it. Depending on your cover & where the levers are, I would still assume that you should also be fine.... BUT check out the pic I enclosed & hopefully it will help you make your own judgment call. You can see the bottom of my bed rails & the clamps utilized for my cover - in relation to the swingcase mounted.
Good luck & I hope this info & pic can help you!

Thank you! I guess worst case scenario I may have to swing the boxes out to open the cover. I appreciate the picture

You're very welcome.
I have seen some covers that have the opening release levers that hang down, but if it interferes just a little, you can always modify & shorten the handle/lever too.
Good luck, & you'll like the swingcase!!!
