Short Rack vs. Mid-level Bed Rack

no worries. Anytime

 

I like my Alum All Pro half rack. Not sure what gen it was made for, looks a good bit older than my other Apex rack.

I went this route to help save a bit of weight, due to the Decked box and all the crap in the back.

 

Not the best pic, I'm on a plane right now, but I have the Yakima bars on my bed. Plan on a RTT being up there early next year. I think I want the new, smaller, ikamper when it's available. I ordered a retrax pro xr for the bed and the Yakima tonneau adapter kit. The bars sit just below the top of the glass. I can still see out the back, and hopefully the rtt won't sit too tall.

 

Do you know how much lift it gave you? Or what is the distance from the top of the axle housing to the bottom of the frame?

 

I just went out and measured. Im at 24" from hub to stock fender. So that's 2" lift from stock 22". If you're planning your lift make sure you add this post to your reading (if you haven't already)

How are you liking the stage 2's? I have a similar setup (weight-wise) and I'm trying to decide between stage 2 or 3.

 

I haven't had a full load out trip yet. I think i should have gone stage 3 and just deal with a little stiffer daily driver! I think once i fill both fuel cans and add all camping equipment it may start to get to heavy again. I do love the Deavers and they are located only about 20 minutes away from me. Pictured is from a day trip no camping gear or fridge and fuel cans.

 

Buy once cry once - go with Yakima

 

I am actually selling a rack that you are looking for lol on the low. Let me know, I'm in your area!
