hey guys just baught my first dodge truck (2010 ram 1500 ST reg. cab 4x4 w/ 3.92's) and was looking into getting myself a set of bed rails and would really like a cover for long road trips... thats where its look like i ran into a problem.
my question is: is there any combination of the two that will work together? (bed rails and cover)
thanks guys.

A little trimming is required but if you want to keep the rails it's a good option.

Mines the same way, both ends of the rails have a plastic escutcheon that covers the stake pockets. If you look closely (or look at PE's website) you'll notice that the bed of the truck is actually wider at the front than at the rear; in the front, the canister and rails set right inside the rails and escutcheons, nearly a perfect fit! On the rear the rails overlapped the bedrails more and covered part of the rear stake pockets, so I set the bedrails back in place, traced the outline of the escutcheon on the rail of the cover, then trimmed it out with a dremel. A little filing and some touch up paint and it's a nice fit!
