    Morning guys,

    Call me a bitch, but after a 4 day camping trip sleeping in a tent on the ground - I prefer the comfortability (and easy setup) of the RTT, especially with my fiancée going on trips with me.

    My question is, what is the MAX rack height (or bed bars) that would keep most RTT’s level with my roofline? I understand the brand/model of RTT matters too With dimensions.

    I just don’t want ANY drag and the clean streamlined look of having it be the same height as my cab. Loosing potential space underneath isn’t an issue for me, especially with a 6ft bed.

    I got Front Runner bars that I added some risers to and it’s just slightly above the cab height so if you don’t use a riser it would definitely be at cab height.

    That’s a clean look, but that RTT looks huge! (Long)

    The KB Voodoo hi rise bars are pretty low profile and my tent is flush minus the ladder. I think for other brands it might be flush, but in order to be perfectly flush you’ll either need a very small tent or bed bars that just barely (maybe 2-3") rise above the bed.
