Unfortunately that is the case from the OEM cover. Side rails are lowered. Perhaps the rear isn't will have to further inspect.
Yeah, no go with the side panels with that setup.

The driver side panel requires drilling? I hadn't seen that, bit of a letdown
I'm in the process of researching/shopping for molle panels. What I've found is the OEM panels are significantly cheaper than aftermarket. I just paid $165 for a front panel (PT767-35900). No thoughts yet since I'm waiting on delivery ... of both the panel and the truck.

Other options have been mentioned above. Rough Country, Rago Fabrication, Victory 4x4, and CaliRaised. I seem to recall all of the full-length side panels are 2-3 piece. All full-length side panels I've seen require drilling on the driver's side, but use existing bolts on the passenger side.

The Victory 4x4 panel uses through bolts with nuts. The Rago panel uses rivet nuts. The Toyota OEM side panels are a 2/3 panel and doesn't require drilling as best I can tell. I think the Rough Country is also a 2/3 length panel but does seem to require drilling.

I dont see where RC cab panel requires drilling. They all seem to use the same brackets behind the rail and then a bracket to mount to the bolt\bracket thats in the bed in each corner.

I have the RC cab panel and it does not require drilling. I don't think any of the cab panels require drilling. It's only the side panels that you need to drill for a secure mount.

Thanks for clearing this up. I couldn't find install directions for the RC so I went with what I could see in their pictures. So, tell me, what are these two screws going to?

I said CAB panel. I'm not referring to the side panels which were already addressed.

That's the passenger side panel and yes it requires drilling. The cab panel is at the front of the bed up near the cab of the truck.

The bolt to some "z" mounts and those bolt to holes drilled in the bed.
