Do you have a security system to avoid removing nuts? Anybody can remove nuts with drill and racks be stolen.

How would this work with a dealer installed tonneau rollback bed cover without the grooves to install the rack?

@getnautical9579 Ай бұрын

Bolts you mentioned for cleats and racks were backwards. Long for the racks short for the cleats. Also bak now makes a t slot rail for there cover so no need for the elevate rail so tonneau can be more flush

@69jeffb69 6 ай бұрын

hi there, can you buy the t bolts seperatly? or is there an aftermarket product that would work with the rails?

Just finished installing one of these, glad they decided to add a middle height, so now 18/23/28. For my Silverado, 23" is the perfect height, just clears the top of the cab and I can fold my Bakflip all the way to the back window. Only issue I had, was I used the thin seal on my Bakflip, which made re-installing it a little too tight, had to remove the seal(didn't have it in the first place). Also, another thing to note, since you're setting your Tonneau cover on top of the TS rails, like in my case, the tailgate seal on the Bakflip is not flush anymore, leaves about a 3/16" gap.. :( need to find a way to seal that part..

Yeah, I have that issue also. Used to have a watertight seal, not anymore.

Are there load stops that can be used with this rack? Similar to yakima/thule where you are able to slide them into the bar and then adjust.

@michaelmancini5773 11 ай бұрын

It looks quality built, but WHY do you have to remove and reinstall bolts when adjusting height of racks, that step should be redesigned and changed to one step tensioning , gets really old for a tradesman/ weekender and multi use, dealbreaker for me

Seems like some people have made the rail system work with the MX4 cover on a Ridgeline, but your website says that it is not compatible. Do you know what modifications need to be made for it to work?

@rem45acp Жыл бұрын

I'm looking to install the rail system with a truxedo lo-pro cover. Another video a salesperson mentioned he cut the rail to fit. Choose the 63" rails and trim them on the band saw. As there's no drilling into the truck, they just have to be shortened. This is what I'll do. You'll probably have to do the same It is really sad that so many manufacturers of truck accessories just completely ignore the Ridgeline. The second generation has been around for 5 years now and there's still such little support for it. In their tiny heads they must just not think it's a good vehicle even though it really is.

Would this work well for a couple 8+ surfboards or a 2 person kayak?

@Realtruck Жыл бұрын

Great question! As long as you have enough distance between the front and rear load bars to properly support what's riding on top, you'll be fine. Take the Maverick in the video as an example. This truck has the shortest bed that the Elevate Rack is made for, and the front and rear load bars can be placed to span about 3 1/2 feet. if you place a surf board that's 8 feet long on top, so that about 11/2 feet hangs off the back, then only about 3 feet of board will hang over the cab. With the tandem kayak, I'd recommend using a Kayak carrier on the rack for the best support, but the Elevate would haul it well.

Hey Keith, the rail it mounts to is proprietary and the rack is worthless without something to mount it to.

Would a 28ft ladder fit on this?

@Realtruck Жыл бұрын

If you're installing the Elevate Rack on a Maverick, the load bars will be about 3 1/2 feet apart at max spacing. If you have an extension ladder on top of it, we'd recommend using a cab mounted load bar from a roof rack, like Rhino Rack, Thule, Or Yakima. The cab mounted load bar would work as a cantilever support for the ladder.

Would this work for hauling a 32’ ladder?

@Realtruck Жыл бұрын

We'd recommend hauling an extension ladder with a rack that extends over the cab. A 32 foot ladder collapses to about 16'3" and the Elevate rack only supports above the bed. That leaves a lot to hang over the cab without support. Hope that helps!

@lukehodson9625 Жыл бұрын

@@Realtruck what about a 28’ ladder that collapse to 14’?

@daveaffolter9697 Жыл бұрын

a 32' fits on the truck decent. I recommend a bed rack and one bar on the cab to support a 32'. Even with a cantilever your support is all on the 2 crossbars and that is a lot of torque to put on the rack. I am not sure how this rack will line up with a cab bar. the ladder would probably rest on the rear bed bar and the cab bar and hover over the mid bar. My buddy has this setup with a different rack and it just barely hovers over the middle bar. He is getting 35 mpg with the 32 on there. I am still waiting for my truck, but plan on an adjustable height bed rack with one bar on the cab.

@a-ron9884 11 ай бұрын

It is already above the cab on the LOWEST setting. And WHY would anyone want to set it super high. This thing was made backwards. People want it to go DOWN, below the cab, and extend up above the cab for use with cargo.
