    Can anyone tell me how high the bestop sits off the bed? That is from the bed rail to the highest point of the top. I want to get a rack to work with it and wont be able to install the used one I just bought because it is missing the right side bow mount (six weeks to get the part) so I want to know what rack to get. I am considering the Softopper or US rack and they come in two different heights.

    Anyone have any experience with using a rack with the bestop?

    Thanks!

    Easy question someone's got to be able to measure...or am I just being impatient?

    I have a bestop. I love it. It keeps my dogs out of the sun and folds away nicely. It is even with the cab height. I don't know how you would do a rack combo. The bestop uses the bed rails and so do the bed racks I know of like Thule. Without doing something creative and custom I think the bestop and bed rack are mutually exclusive.
