    Hi Everyone,

    I'm looking for a quick release bed rack system that allows the top portion of the bed bars to slip over the fixed portion of the rack that is attached to the truck. I would like to use my Bakflip Tonneau cover by quickly detaching the top rack system and still have the functionality of flipping all three sections out to put larger or taller items in the bed. Any system out there like this? Thanks!

    The Bakflip would be able to flip all the way up to the rear cab window when the rack system is removed. Like this:

    kb voodoo pro x bars couple bolts and the cross bars pop off brackets stay in place. It would fit the bill unless you want more rise

    The KB VooDoo modular rack does that. Tonneau brackets too. One bolt in each mount. I use to take my tent and rack off together when I needed to do truck stuff.

    Here you can see the brackets sticking out on the bed rails:

    After I switched to a Revolver bed cover:

    billie bars would work. Longshadow has a good pic. you can get thumb screws to make it easier to put on and take off. or use the security screws like in their pic.

    i have a pair for sale in colorado springs if youre interested.

    Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks everyone! I'll check out the KB Voo Doo rack assembly, any more photos of the rack installed?

    Thank you! The Billie Bars would work, but i'm looking for the brackets to be more flush with the body. Similar to the ones Shaggy posted earlier. Thanks though!
