How far back will my bike be from the cab?
-
See illustrated offset specifications in the images below.
-
-
How high should I mount the rack off the truck bed floor?
-
15"-21" from the truck bed floor to the center of where the rack clamp on to the bar is a good range. 16.5" Is about ideal. If the mounting goes lower the rack will lift off the bed floor when installing some wheel sizes. That is an acceptable function of the rack.
-
-
Do the racks work with bed covers?
-
Yes, and the rack folds down out of the way. We suggest soft roll up covers, or for folding covers and bulkier roll ups the racks need to move back from the cab a few inches. Options are shown in this quick video: Installation Options
-
-
Can the rack handle E-bikes?
-
Yes, see the Recommended Weight Guide for details.
-
-
Will the rack work with fenders?
-
Some fenders extend too far to work with our compression arm. The upper arm that presses against the tire is not intended to press against fenders. If you are not sure if it will work with your bike please contact us and we will help you determine if it will fit or not.
