Thanks for the advice, Ben.
The 435 watt suns weigh 63lbs ea. so 4 would be 252 lbs. up top. This would be offset by either 496 or 984lbs (depending on which batteries I decide to go with) of essentially lead (batteries) in the bed over the rear axle. It would sort of offset the 1,100lb diesel engine under the hood. I don't think it would raise the CG by much, if any, especially when towing and there is about 800 lbs. of weight distributed tongue wt. on my F-250s receiver. Add another 250-300lbs for the rack and light weight topper, 75 lbs for the controller, inverter and wiring and you can see I'll be close to my truck's 2,750lb load limit, but most of the weight will be low enough that it shouldn't affect handling. Besides the 10 degree wedge shape will act like a giant NASCAR wing, increasing stability at highway speed - in theory. ;)
