Default Toolbox specifications for 5'6" bed

Hey guys I'm looking to get a toolbox for my 2011 XLT 4x4 f150 5'6" bed
Curious to see what toolboxes you guys out there are running in your trucks.
I want a black box on the rails doesn't matter low pro or standard high lid. I want single lid and would like the most storage space possible.

Post some pics fellas!
Thanks Stephen

Not the best picture but it's the best I can do for now. I picked up my toolbox from my local farm supply store. It's a Delta Champion single lid. I think I got it on sale for just over $200.

Get a low profile deep box. They are a little bit more money, but being able to reach in it easier, along with being able to put a 5 gallon bucket in up right is worth it. Also i like the gullwing versions better than the single lid due to the fact that after a while the single lid rods fatigue. And you don't necessarily have to get in the bed of the truck to open and close it. Also buy the best box you can afford. People know that valuable tools etc are kept in them and can be opened pretty easily with a pry bar. Where some of the higher quality boxes will take more effort to break into.

I'm considering this one http://www.ecoological.com/aerobox.html. Very versatile.

It's currently in production and will be available starting this month. $467

Got mine at home depot on sale over the holidays. Only $200. Its single lid with a handle on each side that locks. Its designed so if you unlock one side it will still open. Low profile is nice and it leaves space underneath the toolbox if I have to haul something long. No need to unlock both sides and walk back and forth. Seems pretty good so far, no complaints yet.
