Keep on the shell or put on a stack?

What do you all think? Sell my campershell that is on the truck and put on one 5" stack or should I just keep the campershell. It is kind of nice having a dry place to store everything but I REALLY want a single turnout 5" stack!!!!!

I'd base that decision on how you use your truck. If you need the "out of sight - out of mind" security that the shell provides I'd keep it. In today's world it's not that uncommon to hear about someone pulling a tool box out of someone elses truck and tossing it into there own if you are parked unattended. If your truck is your playtoy and that's all you use it for and that is what you really want then the stack will work for you. Personally I use my truck as a grocery getter and like the security feature that the shell provides when going to multiple stores. It helps to remove the temptation.

Or be the first to run a stack up through the camper shell, just a thought.

My stacks are mounted just behind the doors on the outside of the cab and don't get in the way of anything.

They look way more cooler than the ones that are inside the bed corners.

I vote keep the shell, get yourself a 4" kit underneath the truck.

I dont mind the stack idea, but nothing looks goofier than a single stack, either run two stacks or keep the shell. my two cents..
