    So I have a cab height bed rack coming and the RTT would extend past the end of the bed of truck (DCSB) I want to move it so those remaining inches are over the cab and not on the other end. The problem is I have that antenna on the cab and need to clear that... Has anyone ever used some sort of spacers to raise it from the rack a little more?

    Thanks.

    Sent you a DM explaining it but meant for it here

    Used Square aluminum tubing I found at a metal supply place and cut and painted and then used these end caps i found on Amazon. It worked perfectly, but Captqc looks like a much cleaner option.
    Since then I have done a bunch of upgrades and even got a tent that fit truck. So the tube I ended up trashing recently after they sat in my garage for so long. Cheers

    Can’t help you with the spacers but just in case you don’t know, make sure you get bed stiffeners before mounting that RTT.

    These beds are composite and not made to take that sort of load without reinforcement. You have a lot of choices out there. Here just a couple.

    They work great. Cost was $80 at a local fab shop, you can take my drawing to any metal fab shop for a quote. I painted them myself but if you want to get fancy you could have them powder coated.
