4th gen camper shell on 3rd gen, need help

Hey everyone, been a while since I have posted up but I now have a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Megacab.

I'll get right to the point. I want the Snugtop Outback, but they don't make them for 3rd gen Dodges, and they are real @ssholes about it when asking for some help. Link to the shell below on AEV's forum:
https://forum.aev-conversions.com/f...s-product-discussion/9969-mega-cab-2500-build

Based on Dodge's "Body Builder Guides" for 3rd and 4th gen trucks, I feel like it will work, but want your opinions to see if I am missing anything.

Comparisons below laid out as follows: Description / 3rd gen dimension / 4th gen dimension

- Width between front pockets / 68.4 / 68.4
- Width between rear pockets / 65.1 / 65.1
- Front of bed to rear pockets / 74.0 / 73.8
- Bed length at the floor / 76.3 / 76.3
- Height of bed from floor to the rails / 20.2 / 20.1
- Tailgate opening width / 60.6 / 60.4
- Bed rail to top of cab / 23.8 / 23.9

Seems to me that the pertinent dimensions would line up pretty close to perfect. Missing anything? There are a ton more dimensions, but this seems to be what I need to know to make this work.

Thanks in advance!!
