thanks for the info, looks like I have some reading (probably skimming) hahaha. I saw the little chart showing a wing from the top/rear of the cab and a cover from the middle of the bed to the tail gate but looked like more work than I was willing to do. Esp to make it somewhat nice/sturdy.

I plan on getting a couple of sheets not this weekend, but next. I already have 4 holes in my bed rails from a previous camper shell so should be a little easier.

The link I shared also shows someone making an angled tonneau cover with a two elongated trianble pieces of plywood on the side and a tonneau cover over the top. He said the angle alone was almost a 2mpg improvement but I'll start doing some more testing soon.

Truck got hit at an intersection so shes getting a facelift right now.

was there talk about how far the air dam should be off the ground? I'll probably try to make mine no higher then the lowest point of my wifes car as a reference and for approach in/out of parking lots, but did anyone see results with a super short vs med, vs super low handing dam?


oops sorry didn't see the air dam section of the calstate doc lol.
