What's In The Box?
The LeBra Ultra Lift tonneau cover comes with everything you would need to install it, except for a tape measure and a few wrenches. The framework is constructed from extruded aluminum rails that provide plenty of strength without being heavy. The cover itself is a heavy-weight vinyl that has a plastic strip sewn around the perimeter. Instead of using unsightly snaps, the plastic strip will index in a slot of the frame and hold it in place netting a sturdy hold. You also get a bag of hardware, which includes two gas struts, along with everything else needed to install the tonneau.

8. The company provides an assortment of spacers, so if you have a spray-in bedliner or something else that would change the handle relationship, you can still install them properly. Ours didn't need any spacers-lucky us.
