Adjustable RTT bed rack?

So I've been thinking about an adjustable bed rack for my RTT. I think it would be cool to be able to have it level with my bed and then raise it above the cab. Has anyone done this before?

 

Ive thought about this a lot before getting my RTT, but putting a rock under the tire(s) kinda killed the idea

 

Oh I wasn't really thinking about it for leveling purposes but that would be an added benefit as well. I'm looking more for not having to drive around with the tent above the cab all the time. Right now I have it just above the cab with some bed bars but didn't really think that through when I went to hook up an annex room. To short to stand inside it. Haha now I need to get bed bars that put my RTT above the cab but was thinking about this idea first before i do anything

 

@KB Voodoo are you thinking about designing something like this??

 

I saw a guy around here that had something like that, was setup like a air shock, her hit the air compressor and it raised the bed rack about 2ft. slick setup

 

That's what I'm talking about! Idk if I'd go that fancy but that sounds sweet! I'm no fabricator but I have some ideas jotted down that I think would work. Just need to try and turn my concept into reality.

 

take a look at some of these ideas too.

I've seen trailers with a similar mechanism and big gas struts. Seems like a lot of complication when you could just run a set of the 8" Reltentless bars and keep it tucked low.

@RelentlessFab is making an adjustable height rack.

 

really... thats good to know! thanks man!

 

just read throught that post. looks good and i like the idea. definitely helps with visualizing what i'm thinking. Thank you!

 

Those are some good ideas! I really like the gas strut idea. The jack idea is really smart! I think i might try something like that

 

Adjustable to my definition, of varying lengths, at least.

 

so not really adjustable on the fly then.

 

Negative.

Dragos over on tundra talk built one with linear actuators that are leveling and height adjustable

 

Of course non of the pictures show up for me. haha reading through it sounds like a really good idea too. Guess i need to create an account to see the photos or something

 

I think i found what i was looking for! Thanks @Metallikatz3 the tundra thread led me to this other thread on TW through all my google searching non of these threads popped up. I guess i just suck at researching on forums...
