    Thinking about going with the same roof rack basket setup as you. Did you have to add the load warrior extensions? Or do you just have the mega load warrior

    Just the mega warrior. You do however have to modify the mounting brackets

    How does the truck ride with the 884x and 5100s? Is it a rough ride on bumps?

    It rides pretty smooth! A lot better than some spacers!

    I used that too. Figured it was worth the time savings. Then I ended up spending an hour hand filing the bolt holes on the passenger side so it would fit! The welds on the AL standoffs were a little heavier on the pass side. I tried grinding those down first. Those are hard mofos and I was worried about screwing up the mounting bolt.
