RAGO Bed Stiffener... or?

For those of you running bed stiffeners does anyone have an opinion (yes, I asked for an opinion on TW) for why you wouldn't want a RAGO.

As of now, I'm thinking of picking-up the RAGO stiffeners as they are Stainless Steel, however, I'm not keen to drill holes in my pretty new truck; though I'm guessing avoiding the drilling would be pretty tough.

As well it appears RAGO has one of the lowest profile designs. Or is there something better out there?

I have access to Greenlane (quite a bit more expensive) and Cali Raised (Not Stainless Steel).

Thanks!

 

I think most require drilling? Not sure if some mini bed stiffeners don't require it?

 

Here's a thread on Bed Stiffeners that might help you decide. I've had the Rago ones for a few years now and like them. Rago ones are shorter and have fewer tie down points than others.

 

I ended up going with the Total Chaos ones.

I also did the TC stiffeners. Have used each tie down spot so far with various loads.

 

I went with All Pro ones. I wanted something which didn’t have a lip on the bottom since I sometimes load a Quad or a Motorcycle in the bed and didn’t want anything in the way of the wheels.

Here are some pics of mine. I got them from Summit Racing. From what I’ve seen any of the full-length ones will require drilling into your truck.

 

I also like how your bed mat doesn't hump up over the bracket on the floor.

 

Another vote for Total Chaos. Top notch. And multiple well thought out tie down options

Rago looks like it’ll interfere with a bed mat/loading large items

 

Thanks! Yes, that was a consideration for me too!

 

I like my SOS ones, they have a lot of tie down options.
