You could do one of those rack things that holds everything up off the rails however far, but man they're proud of them. Not sure if it'd be high enough to clear a hard flip cover though, may need to change to a roll up type. My buddy with a big rubicon has one and he finally sold it and went back to a regular tent. It was tough always trying to get the jeep to a level spot to sleep, and then it's just a bunch to haul around all the time. Others will chime in I'm sure, but my experiences with him wrestling with the damn thing turned me away from doing one. If you're solo, I will say I'm a huge fan of my new Overland by ARE topper and the bed rug I put in the bed. Don't need a mat and it makes for a great dry place for all your gear.
