2nd gen camper shell questions

Greetings people of TW,

I have 2 questions.

1. Would these clamps work for a topper? If not, what would you recommend?

$29 GCi STRONGER BY DESIGN G-1 Clamp for Mounting Truck Cap/Camper Shell (set of 4) Made with structural aluminum to ensure quality and strength. For Mounting Caps, Camper Shells, Toppers to Pickup.

2. Is there any differences between 2013 and 2008 as far as the bed sizes go? The topper im looking at was on a 2013.

Thank you,

 

No difference in bed sizes.

 

Those looks like the clamps I have on my 2015 wearing a 2005 camper. They work just fine.

 

Not sure if those clamps work as well. These are the ones that came with my topper http://apiclamps.com/shop/?p=productsList&iCategory=6

 

I went and double checked my clamps.

 

What brand of topper? They use different clamps per the different brands. Bed size is the same within the different configurations (short bed, long bed).

 

I have those clamps holding on my ARE and i've had no issues.

 

ARE AND THANKS!

 

These are what came with both my ARE CX's https://www.ebay.com/p/api-truck-ca.../1934485770?iid=121158937158&trdt=0&rdtsrc=vi

 

Thanks!! That is what I need.

 

I also have the API clamps (Sub_Par)on my new ARE Z series.

 

If it's a long bed, be aware that the regular cab (2 door) caps are different than the access/double cab caps. The contour of the rear of the cab is different causing different fitment.

 

I have a leer 100xr with carpet liner, Thule rails, and keyless entry. It is held on by threaded blocks that fit in the 1st and last 5" of my utility rails. Slick set up.
