I installed the backflip tonneau cover, truxedo elevate ts rails and a universal headache rack that are working out great!
So after getting my backflip cover and the elevate ts rails, I was able to do some measurements and went with this universal headache rack

So I like that when I put lumber or anything in the back and it is up against the tailgate, when it is strapped down it does not interfere with the stock antenna. So there is no clearance issue there.
I used the universal rack, as posted above, but I did not use the top cross bar that came with it (which is designed for much bigger trucks.) instead I 3d printed some caps and used electrical tape to make sure they don’t blow off. (They are a pretty snug fit, so I don’t think they would, but I did it anyways just to make sure there is a good seal).
I couldn’t find any replacement t bolts from the elevate ts rails, so I used some 3/8” carriage bolts from Home Depot, used my grinder and flattened out the carriage portion a little bit so it would slide in perfectly into the t slot.
All in all I think it is working out really good. And I feel like it makes the truck a whole lot more useful!
I am super happy with my hybrid maverick! And wanted to share encase this might help someone else out looking to do something similar.
