Id get a truxedo cover. They roll up, look super nice and have a 10yr+ warranty. I have one on mine and still looks new since 07. But i dont have a stack just for that reason. I dont like the headache of them. Only stack id have is a hood stack for sled pullin.

I have the Vanish by agricover and I cut a hole for my stack. Just used a razor then brought it to the local car upholstery shop. I took it all apart so that all they had was the leather and they hemmed it if you will to help with the cold weather with shrinking. Didnt charge me anything but I gave the guy a few bucks for the help.

I had them sew in a few loops for when I towed my gooseneck to prevent it from rolling back, or forwards. Not the best looking but simple and works.

I have a truxedo on my 1500 and like its capabilities, but went with a fiberglass on my 2500. Personally out of them all i love the hard cover roll-ups. Several compaines make them. Thats what i would go with!

I have a roll n lock on my truck. I like it a lot as it allows me to put a lot of stuff in and out of the bed and secure it when needed and it rolls up out of the way when I don't need it.

If you don't already have a tool box, then some of the roll-n-locks and others like it are made with a tool box built in and cover part rolls into a storage box in the tool box. I know they are a little pricier, but depends on what you are using it for. Like I mentioned my soft cover serves its purpose but I hate to put valuables back there due to its easy ability to tear into it. Thats why I went with the fiberglass b/c I didn't need the access for a gooseneck or 5th wheel. Something to think about

I already have a tool box and I use my bed regularly that's why I was thinking somethin that will roll up for easy access. Only reason I even am thinking about it is so when I throw stuff when we go to the lake or camping in the back I dot have to put a net or anything just throw it back there

Since you already have the toolbox id say truxedo. Mine has been on for 5-6 years and still looks brand new. Extang makes a good one too that is similar to the truxedo.
