Thanks deejaaa it looks good at 100km/h! I live near North Battleford, which is 140 kms west of saskatoon.
I forgot to clamp one side of the cap down yesterday and it started lifting off the bed as i was driving. So i gently slow the truck down until 85km/h where it sits back down.
So the lift force at 85km/h is about the weight of the rear of the cap (cause its hinged).* I figured i was getting a little lift. Not too worried... with a max speed of 105 im not taking off anytime soon.
