Yep, shower curtain rods are the way to go. Cheap, reliable and quick and easy to remove when you need to haul something else in your pickup.
The only thing I do different is I use pipe insulation instead of the non skid drawer liners for cushioning. I also use a couple of bungee cords to tie everything down because my pickup doesn't have a topper.
