Both the dealer and the factory said this had to be done to keep from chipping the paint?*? Make sure you see one installed before buying or you could be sorry like me.
Whoa! I should have read this before. I just had a Leer cap installed yesterday, same thing, '09 with 6.5' bed. Looks like they "fixed" the problem of having it stick out the back by having it stick out the front. It rubs against the truck and squeals and rattles and I don't know what damage it's doing. I'm bringing it back today. Also, I searched the internet and found a lot of people having problems with Leer. ARE sounds like the best. I did my research too late.
