    I don't like the sounds of that. Now I'll have to measure again...

    Edit: is that with the mounts on the rack?

    FWIW, I also hit my antenna when entering parking lots (or anything with that damn aerial guard thing), but don't hit my rack.

    The racks I have installed with the fin, the fin ends up hitting the rack right in the middle of the crossbars, which are 1" tall, so the rack is roughly .5" taller than the fin.

    From what I am reading though people are saying the fin is taller than the rack.

    It never efffing ends.....

    I have a 2011 DCSB without the god awful shark fin fantanna. Here is the height of my rack:


    There are several mounting options for the rear crossbar, so if shouldn't be an issue anyhow.

    for my 3rd gen, the fin is taller than the bottom of the cross bar. I cant have a bar at the last mounting spot for the Cab area.

    Yeah this is typical. The top of the rack should be taller than the top of the fin though.

    Nothing worthy
    Do you have single wide cross bars for us tall fin guys?
    I like the last bar to be at the back for loading stuff.
    I have mine vertical and would prefer less wind resistance and it'd look better.

    Rack is taller than shark fin.
    Light bar sticks up ~1/2" higher than rack.
    Radio antenna sticks up higher than light bar.

    I can get a photo in a bit if y'all would like one.
