I have the Truxedo LoPro rollup soft cover. I am thinking of replacing it with a Retrax. The Truxedo's rails stick into the bed a few inches and keeps me from making a 90 degree turn. The pinbox would hit it before I approach 90 degrees. I think the Retrax has a much smaller rail on each side. Anyone have any detailed pics of their Retrax rails?

After a lock and roll on my last truck, I elected for a Pace Edwards on this one. It is a nice cover.

Thats a beautiful roll cover, but that is one ugly hitch!
