Artic Fox

Can anybody tell me how wide the arctic fox is not between wheel well but above that where it extends over wheel wells. I need to know this before I pick my used 990 because I have brackets that hang off my cover rails. Sorry not sure if I explained right.
Thanks

    If you are asking in advance, remove them. Newer AF campers are a tight fit. They don’t waste much bed space.

    That would also depend on the truck, I have plenty of room. A Undercover brand toneau cover has brackets that mount on the inside of the bed rails.

    As I said on the top of the rails and the OP has the same year GM truck as I do.

    Fly fisher that is the measurements I needed my cover rails has brackets to mount a tool box that stretches across bed. Now I can measure space between brackets to see if I have to remove them.
    Thanks much

    The step outs you are talking about is 58" wide the pan of the camper is just shy of 49" hope that helps you.

    I’m not sure how much this helps, but what ever the max width is, the upper part of the TC still has to clear your tailgate opening as it slides in. If you measure that gap, I think you’ll be pretty close.

    If your tjinking of using what I think your describing, your not going to want to use them. Your going to want frame mounting tie downs.
