I have a low profile cover from leer but they discontinued it. Great choice over a tool box IMO, You have so much more room and if someone wants to steal your stuff they have to take it piece by piece instead of on guy on each end of your tool box lol!

I have an Ex-tang and I like it a lot. It's not a profile top, but it does what I need it to do. This is the best close up I have.

I have a soft tonneau, a truxedo lo-pro. It sits about 1/2 inch above the bed rails and mounts to the inside of them. It's really a great cover. I've had it on my truck for almost a year with no problems. It also has a lifetime warranty on everything, even the material for the cover itself. I cannot remember exactly what I paid for it, but I think it was around $375 or so.
