you know the ones that come stock now on all the rams? not like the srt spoiler just the black thing that goes over the top of the tailgate and gives it better looks. I have a 8 foot sports master button tonneua cover

Usually the tonneau comes with extra foam to make the rear sit a bit higher to fit over the spoiler.

If you decide to make your own
check out how Dodge changed the
'tailgate thingie'
shape and size on the new 2009 Ram's tailgate
as that is supposed to reduce aero drag even more
than the old design





someone wanting to start a small home business might try to imitate this design
and produce one that would fit earlier Rams
