any update ?
any regret getting the 60 over the 68"?This Maverick belongs to Mike Simon.
im thinking of this setup to strap my long folded pop up tent since it doesn't fit inside the bed
Not yet... I figured it was wiser to be patient due to the economy and higher prices right now.
Is that as low as it goes? It looks to be 5" or so above the cab.After doing a lot of research, this is the one I bought to haul whitewater kayaks.
It does go lower, by about 5 inches as you observed. I have adjusted the rack to its lowest position and there is still quite a lot of clearance.

I'm curious about the 60 vs 68 inch crossbars too. I had 66" crossbars on my Subaru Outback and Impreza. I tend to carry a lot of toys but am planning on putting bikes in the truck bed.
I installed the Yakima HD towers without a spacer. I have not tried to adjust the height of the bars at all since installing... I might run into the 'towers tilt in' problem if I do... I can't tell right now.
The towers do warp the plastic trim a bit
This photo illustrates that the plastic trim gaps / warps due to the force of towers clamped on.

Maybe not the perfect spot for this but I have this rack and plan to toss a very large roof top tent and some gear on it. This same load was on my jeep gladiator prior. Does anyone know if the bed sidewalls have a weight rating? Assuming I can just go off of the Yakima rack rating. Anyone know if there is a published static weight? Ive only seen the 300 off road and 500 on.

Is the install of the Yakima overhaul hd rack possible with the factory bed liner? Or is it blocking the clamps from a secure fit? Is your bed spray in or factory bed liner? Thanks!I have installed my bed rack using an 1/8" thick 2-1/4" wide rubber strip to keep the bases some what level (from McMaster-Carr - High-Strength Multipurpose Neoprene Sheet with Certificate, 12" x 24", 1/8" Thick 70A Hard). If you don't use a shim/spacer the bases will be tilted inward and you won't be able to attach the towers or they will will attach but be in a bind.

Hey I am soon to be installing my Overhaul HD rack. I’ve found the material you mentioned on fixsupply.com but was curious about how you used it to offset the tilt? Are you cutting that bulk piece they sell to a matching shape of the clamps platform base? Or just a portion of it? And moreover if so how large a portion and where did you position it? Any insight would be greatly appreciated to help save time and hassle. Thanks!
I looked at Yakima but it was too much $$. Went with this rack for $550.
