theres a thread in some old posts on here, just do some digging. i personally love ragtops. i rock one on my noma ext cab. i thought bout adding one to my dually when i do pick one up, but i may hold off. most kits come complete with a template and full kit. its very straight forward. its like everything though man. MEASURE 20x times, cut once . hahaha alot of people say they rattle too much, leak, and just are too flimsy. mine is perfectly ok. no leaks,ect.. maybe it comes down to the person installing. size wise you can go pretty big. just talk to the supplier.. the two best sites ive dealt with are....www.slidingragtops.com and....www.streetbeatcustoms.com. hope this helps man.

thanks .. as i read up on this i feel i will just do a canvas snap on style il make myself instead of the slider as its alot of $ to have it leak and break im doin a rat rod theme with the tall shifter handle and the worn satin black distressed paint job with big ass white walls and the open roof as they do so if the slider has all the probs ppl say they do i might as well just make the old school home made snap on canvas top thanks
