We have the Leitner Designs Active Cargo System on the truck so the tent actually sits right above the cab so we weren't concerned with the tent extending beyond the bed over the cab. We could have also set it up for it to extend off the back of the rack but preferred this look.

Great build! The bed rack/decked system looks great. Are you guys on IG? I'm pretty sure that I came across your page a while ago but don't think I followed then.

Where did you end up mounting the Fox reservoirs? Also you mind posting a pic of the front of the truck with the wheels straight, basically a straight on shot?

From the looks of some of your later pics it looks like the rear is sagging a little from the added weight...Is it my eyes? Your build is very close to mine...LOVE MY DECKED SYSTEM!!

Yes, the rear was sagging as I carry around 700-1K pounds in the rear regularly. We added a block under the stock leafs that fixes the sag. That was a temporary fix until we add a Deaver pack to the rear.

Here are some updated shots with a custom Deaver pack installed in the rear.

Man truck looks killer. Basically same set up as mine except I am doing a custom mount with my Leitner rack and no decked system. Keep up the great work.

The issue is the position for the reservoir mount on my truck looks slightly different (i.e. no tab and threaded hole as shown in their image):

what wheel size are you running and tires ?
