Q David • 01/14/2021, 11:55:16 AM If these risers are used with the cab height bed rack would it allow me to place a portion of a large rtt over the cab?

A 01/15/2021, 6:07:12 PM That is their purpose, yes. You may need to do a mock up of your specific tent to be sure they will work however.

Q Ken • 02/11/2021, 1:54:25 PM What are the dimensions of these Risers? How wide and long are they and distance of mounting points? Thanks!

A 02/15/2021, 12:52:47 PM Footprint is 6" x 2" with 5" on center mounting slots.

Q Chance Karshens • 02/25/2021, 2:51:31 PM Will these mount on 4Runner roof racks? The ones available that I previously purchased still do not assist with easy mounting.

A 02/26/2021, 10:12:24 AM Yes, they will.

Q KB • 03/30/2021, 11:59:47 AM Do you recommend attaching additional load bars to the risers for weight distribution with rooftop tents or can you mount a tent directly to the risers themselves?

A 04/02/2021, 1:17:54 PM The riser can carry a tent without any additional bars.

Q Steve Rindshoj • 07/08/2021, 6:14:10 PM Hi, I am going to purchase the 3rd gen 4Runner full length roof rack. I will be installing my Tepui Explorer Ayer 2 RTT. Do these risers attach directly to the tent rails with one bolt each and no other hardware? Are the risers required for the RTT? Thank you

A 07/23/2021, 10:58:16 AM You can install the tent with out without the risers, but the risers help add some room to get to the fasters to tighten everything. You can use 1 or 2 bolts per mount to mount the RTT. You can ask THULE on their recommendations on that.

Q Bernard • 09/19/2021, 6:41:00 PM Will this fit my prinsu bedrack?

A 09/23/2021, 1:26:44 PM Have not tested specifically. The footprint is 6" x 2" with 5" on center mounting slots.

Q Colby Little • 02/01/2022, 5:44:23 PM What is the weight these can hold?

A 02/08/2022, 11:36:21 AM There is not a specific weight rating for these mounts, but send an email to [email protected] and we can give you more info on mounting specific items!

Q Jeremy Yates • 03/23/2022, 6:44:51 AM What size hardware will you need to install to a Victory bed rack?

A 04/06/2022, 1:11:19 PM 1/4" X 1" would work great.

Q Karen • 03/30/2022, 9:44:20 PM Will these brackets work on a Gobi stealth rack?

A 03/31/2022, 11:58:22 AM They will not.

Q Ruben • 06/13/2022, 2:21:02 PM I have 4 of your crossbars on my 5th gen 4runner oem rack. Will 4 of these be enough for weight distribution for installing an Alpha2 tent (175lbs)? Or do you recommend another 4 of these for the 2 middle crossbars? Thank You!

A 06/22/2022, 2:01:57 PM 4 total should be sufficient.

Q Jamie • 07/29/2022, 6:22:46 PM Will these risers work for any brand of rooftop tent or does it need to be a specific brand? I am hoping to get a roof nest hard top tent.

A 08/15/2022, 4:41:47 PM They are meant to be universal.

Q Christian • 10/18/2022, 2:34:33 PM The Smittybilt Gen 2 XL uses a mounting system that clamps on to the bed rack rails. Is it possible to use that tent with these risers?

A 10/18/2022, 2:54:59 PM These probably won't work. You may need a spacer block between our rack crossbars and the RTT extrusion rails. We would recommend bolting through the block with longer bolts also. Basically, it would be a thick version of the mount base plate (as referenced in the smittybuilt install doc.)

Q Shane • 06/27/2023, 2:47:34 AM What size of carriage bolt will these risers accept to mount to a rack?

A 11/21/2023, 2:12:05 PM 1/4x20-1 should work just fine mounting to your rack.

Q Gavyn • 06/29/2023, 0:53:19 AM I have a Nissan frontier with the OEM OVERLANDING bed rack. The bed rails are in parallel with the bed of the truck, rather than perpendicular. Can you confirm these will fit?

A 08/04/2023, 2:58:41 PM They are specifically designed around our bed racks but can be mounted to any flat surface that allows you to bolt through.

Q Gavyn • 06/29/2023, 5:19:04 PM I have a Nissan frontier with the OEM OVERLANDING bed rack. The bed rails are in parallel with the bed of the truck, rather than perpendicular. Can you confirm these will fit?

A 08/04/2023, 11:53:10 AM We have not tested that, these brackets were designed to work with our bed racks. You should however be able to mount them to any flat surface that you can bolt to.

Q Sharon • 07/21/2023, 7:52:55 PM Can these risers be mounted to an extruded aluminum rack, specifically, an Outdoor Vehicle Systems Discovery Rack? I have rack-specific hardware on hand already, which includes M-8 bolts.

A 08/04/2023, 2:39:45 PM They can be mounted to any flat surface that allows you somewhere to bolt into, including extruded aluminum bars.

Q Darin • 07/28/2023, 1:49:17 AM Will these work with the Victory 4x4 Adventure Universal bed rack?

A 08/04/2023, 3:51:23 PM Yes, they will.

Q Caylan • 08/05/2023, 7:16:38 PM Will these work to raise an iKamper skycamp 2.0 on a Go Rhino XRS Overland Extreme Rack?

A 08/09/2023, 12:19:41 PM They will as long as you can attach them to that specific bedrack.

Q Dawn • 09/08/2024, 4:09:22 PM I'm looking to add height to only the passenger side of my roof rack to get my awning higher. Would you recommend this for that type of application

A 12/24/2024, 10:27:34 AM The brackets are designed to raise a RTT not the roof rack itself.
