Leer 100xr installed “néw”

Just had my new Leer 100xr installed today ... extras include: 3way power outlet, windoors both sides, dual lights with open door on, Thule rack guides, 8 heavy duty ceiling hooks, OEM key fob unlock/lock, carpeted headliner and rear sliding / drop down window installed $3200
Color match was pretty darn close, I measured the height of the rear flares before & after install lost about 3/4” but I have some #500lb summo springs that will take care of that

 

man, you went all out huh

 

just a tad

 

How do the sumo springs work? I keep going back and forth between onboard air with airbags and sumo springs.

 

Summo’s are airless ... basically an enlarged bump stop ... it increases its effectiveness the more it gets squished if that helps ya any

 

I installed after getting a similarly optioned ARE cap on mine. They replace the factory bump stops with a taller 4 ring progressive “cushion”. The 612-40s are what you want for 3rd gen. They say they don’t make contact with the frame on 3rd gens unless loaded, but mine make contact and raised me back up closer to stock height after topper install. I like them, they firm things up and reduce body roll in turns. They shouldn’t impact suspension articulation much since the weight on that wheel would exceed their loading capacity andsmash them down. Much cheaper than airbags and won’t leak, but don’t allow for independent adjustment like bags would. I prefer simple and effective.

 

Looks great and some nice add-ons. I’m trying to decide if I want a canopy. So many benefits and so many things I don’t like.

 

Can’t live without a cap. Bravo OP!

 

yeah I def debated for a while ... decided to pull the trigger & go all out

 

very nice

 

Congrats on the new topper I went the ARE route, very similar to yours, with a lot of options. One oversight I had was the ceiling hooks. Good choice, those will surely come in handy.

 

i can’t figure out how the rear end installs. Do you also replace the tailgate?

 

The factory tailgate has been sitting in my basement since new

 

Nice topper! Almost the same as my 100XR, but I added the remote lock/unlock, strip lighting, outlets, hooks, and ceiling net myself. I love the 2 windoors. So useful.

I also lost about 3/4" rear height after topper install. I had 612-40 Sumo springs installed, which brought me back up to about stock height, but made the ride in the back kinda harsh. They were great for when I was loaded up for a camping trip though. I just removed them and went back to stock bump stops about a month ago when I installed my Bilstein 5160/6112 + AAL lift. Kinda considering throwing them back on for when I'm loaded down now. They shouldn't contact the frame now when unloaded, due to the lift.

 

Can I get details on this cap?
I like the man door but does the entire back section lift up also?
manufacture?
Thanks for your Military service.

 

That's a damn nice topper on a nice looking truck. The grommet in the bed to fish the wiring through is a nice install, wish the shop I bought mine new from would've done it similarly.

Congrats

 

Ps: bedrug makes it a penthouse

 

great info

 

we just had a good rain and just like others have said they leak in the front right corners ... I will have to address that before bed rug

 

yeah they even came out and asked me how and where would I like it ran
