I have an ARE cap on a QC, and I've certainly never noticed any bad
harmonics on it.
In fact, I've never heard of this at all.
On the plus side the extra weight settles the back end a bit.
Can't say what the gas mileage difference would be, as I got the cap a feww
weeks after the truck.
I opted for the ARE because they were the only company who made a high-line
cap, that is about 6 inches taller than the cab.
Give a lot of extra storage over the cab-high.
Now ask me if I like the look of the truck with the cap. From some angles
the truck looks badly proportioned because the cap looks shorter than the
box (the wrap around sides).
