Description

This rack has been designed specifically to provide a well thought out bed rack for the RamBox equipped Ram chassis that is both versatile and accommodating of the great features that the RamBoxes and Cargo Management give us. This rack is everything you want it to be when you need a rack, and is completely out of the way when you need open bed space. The unique design of the rack and load-bearing crossbars allows the rack to be broken down for shipping or storage, and for the crossbars to be moved to any location along the length of the rack, or completely removed. This allows for full-height items to be loaded into the truck such as dirt bikes, and adds the utility that when a tall and bulky item is loaded into the bed, it can be surrounded by the crossbars to add stability to the item. The front of the rack has a CNC formed contour to avoid blocking the third brake light (CHMSL), while tying the two sides together. The side bars safely clear the RamBoxes when they are open, while keeping any cargo such as a Rooftop Tent as low as we can to maintain a healthy center of gravity and to keep cargo accessible. The base plates which mount the rack to the truck each have a welded tie-down tab to accept either hooks, rope or webbing to control any large cargo you may haul. All tie-down tabs and baseplates are machined deburred to prevent any abrasion or cutting of your rope or webbing.

Additional to these features, the rack was also designed with the intent of clearing tonneau covers. Most roll-up tonneaus can be installed and be fully functional in combination with the rack. If using a folding tonneau you will not be able to fully open any panel as it will contact a crossbar or your cargo, though folding tonneaus can be fully used if no crossbars or cargo are present on the rack. Contact us if you are considering running this rack and a tonneau so we can look at the mounting interface together.

Construction: The rack is formed from premium 2.0″x.120″ DOM steel tubing to appropriately match the aesthetics and lines of the truck and to provide a very stout rack which requires no additional reinforcement or gusseting. The crossbars are also constructed of 2.0x.120″ DOM to provide high load capacity while keeping a light weight. The rack and crossbars are all joined using in-house CNC machined clamps – dead simple, reliable, and extremely strong – which allow for the crossbars to be moved anywhere along the straight section of the rack or to be completely removed. The total weight of the rack and two crossbars is right at only 100lbs.

Installation: Using .250″ thick steel base plates that contour to the factory bed lines, the base plates replace the plastic caps in each corner and have rubber isolator pads underneath to prevent scratches to the truck and rack. The rack is mounted in place using a total of 14 3/8″ stainless steel bolts for a smooth and rust-free finish. All mounting is done through existing factory holes, with NO DRILLING REQUIRED. All necessary hardware is included for installation.

Note: This rack fits RamBox trucks with the 6’4″ bed (shortbed) ONLY. Will fit Crew and Mega Cab trucks.
