Dodge ram 2004 pickup bed camper topper issue

[shelby5041]

Hi

My friend gave me a pickup bed topper for my 04 ram

he said it was on a 02 ram

It fits perfect length but the height is short

Its not flush with top of cab its about 1.5'inches too low.....

I dont like how it looks.....should be flush with cab top.......any ideas how to raise it 1.5 inches?

I was thinking a 2x4 on bottom of topper perimeter but would have to modify rearvwindow somehow

Any ideas?

Build a square tube frame if you plan on mounting it permanently. Wood will rot.

i ended up just using 2x4 and painted black...and yes the wood has rotted mostly on ends but its been 6yrs...ill just replace with new wood or maybe use 2x4 fir or cedar.or a plastic based 2x4...if the truck even lasts much longer.. . its cheap and easy..not worth the high cost and time involved fabricating a steel frame for an old rust bucket truck...this truck is literally just rusting away...
