    So I’ve got the Bravo roof rack, Truss bed rack on my ReTrax, and an eX Bravo rack on top of the bed racks.

    However, the bed rack is about a half inch shorter than the roof rack. Any ideas of how to correct? Thought about a metal bar underneath each leg drilled with holes for the bolts to prop it up.

    Didn’t your roof rack come with spacers? You could potentially install them on the bed rack to help level it out?

    spacers, washers, duct tape... anything that creates a small space in between.

    Are they from the same manufacturer?

    Yes, everything from UpTop. There’s spare washers that I can place underneath but would a plate/bar help distribute the weight more evenly?

    I pulled off my cab rack…every taco has them installed these days, and 95% of them are empty. I prefer the clean look anyway. Just grab some poly spacers off Amazon and run those in between the cab bolts and the rack. Ymmv

    Maybe make sure they sent you the right mounting kit for the truss vs the cap mounts.
