Looking for a Tent and air mattress setup that will work on my 5'7" bed with the Ramboxes. Seems like most are for the 6'4" bed with wheel wheels and I have neither. Thanks!

amazon is your friend. napier and backroadz i think
i had one camping and i chose the one without the bottom, just the shell. it hold better in case water gets in around the seals. more space and easier to install.
you can do the install alone, but it will take a bit of time.
only one bad thing after heavy rains, the roof holds a bit of water that eventually will start to drip in if you dont clean it.
it is as it lacks full support on top part middle way. For occasional camping is a must, for 3-6 days or more, make sure you drain it after the rain. Ot get a tarp on the top side, dont cover the sides, it will hold all the humidity in and everything will be dump.
after having it and camping like that, i wont buy it again, i am getting a hard shell and get a tent that fits around the opening:

happy camping !

No ram boxes, but you could make this work so long as you measured for the correct air mattress. This setup was an amazon special for pretty cheap. Worked amazing in cold wet weather this winter in the mountains and wasn't hard to take off for wood hauling trips. Fit the wife and I and had we gotten a made for truck beds air mattress that hugged the wheels I'm sure we could have fit the kids (4 and 6) too. Going to be very spacious when its just me back there for my buddies bachelor party.

Setup is easy and solo-able, while the temp has a bottom it sits on a tarp.
