And after adding the square tube bars and a few bolts? Bam! Doubled the off road weight capacity! Looks like I'm too new to the forums and can't upload images yet, however, this will make more sense once I can add the CAD pics, and pictures of my truck, to my post. Now, the rear braces by themselves aren't enough to increase the off road weight, so his solution is to buttress the cross beams with 1 1/2" square tube bars when needed. To counter this, they have the rear braces that bolt to the truck bed. The system is built to give access to the bed height by moving the adjustable rear cross beam forward with no tools, which creates a natural weak point. What he sent back were several CAD images of ways to sure up the off road weight without altering the rack in any way. I was initially concerned about the "off road weight" of 250lbs, even though the "static weight" is 1,000lbs, so I emailed him some questions since I have a RTT that weighs about the max for off road. I normally shy away from "modular" because the word gives me nightmares (thanks a lot Ikea) but this thing is built like a rock. Will fit Crew and Mega Cab trucks.I cant say enough good things about Bernhard and his Leitner Active Cargo System! I've had it for 5 months now and it is truly a Swiss army knife.

Note: This rack fits RamBox trucks with the 6’4″ bed (shortbed) ONLY. All necessary hardware is included for installation. All mounting is done through existing factory holes, with NO DRILLING REQUIRED.

The rack is mounted in place using a total of 14 3/8″ stainless steel bolts for a smooth and rust-free finish. 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 total weight of the rack and two crossbars is right at only 100lbs. 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 crossbars are also constructed of 2.0x.120″ DOM to provide high load capacity while keeping a light weight.

  • Diamondback (Will not be able to open fully, but will still have full function due to its gas-strut assist)Ĭonstruction: 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.
  • Armor-Coated fasteners for the high-use threads of the clamping elements.
  • Stainless steel fasteners to secure the main rack to the bed.
  • All-weather Rubber Isolator Pads to prevent metal-on-metal contact of the rack and the truck bed and to add traction.
  • Complete with liners to add traction and prevent powder-coat-on-powder-coat contact.
  • Contact us if you are considering running this rack and a tonneau so we can look at the mounting interface together. 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. Most roll-up tonneaus can be installed and be fully functional in combination with the rack. All tie-down tabs and baseplates are machined deburred to prevent any abrasion or cutting of your rope or webbing.Īdditional to these features, the rack was also designed with the intent of clearing tonneau covers. 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. 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 front of the rack has a CNC formed contour to avoid blocking the third brake light (CHMSL), while tying the two sides together. 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 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.
