The Alternate build for the 18" rack still allows tonneau functionality for rollups and limited range for the Diamondback in a form factor some prefer with the angled riser brackets. We've called this build our "secret menu item" for a year and it's popularity earned it a place in our lineup!
18.5 in
- Great for tents, snowboards, skis, bikes, and long kayaks, canoes, or paddle boards that need to be at roof height
- Adjustable in height in 2 in increments from 6.5" to 18.5"

Honda Ridgeline
In order to attach our rack to a Honda Ridgeline (2nd Gen Only) you must purchase a utility rail kit similar like this: https://campingrandy.com/products/Unistrut-Bed-Mount-Kit-p397828040
Ford F150/250/350
If you are using our rack on a Ford F series truck and you have a Diamondback Cover, make sure to let us know. We have special extra wide lower brackets to fit that specific combination. This is a 2 piece bracket, which is different from our standard 1 piece.
Trifold Tonneau Covers
Nearly all trifold tonneau covers will work underneath our rack, but only the 24.5" rack is tall enough to allow some of them to fold open. The easiest way to determine if your cover will open is to measure the folds, if your fold is longer than 22.5" from the hinge point it is unlikely to be able to open under our racks.
Tonneaus + Toyotas & Titans
The utility rails on Tacomas, Tundras and Titans are not flush with the bedsides of these vehicles. This limits which tonneau covers are compatible without modification to those that only sit on top of the bedsides like the Extand Solid Fold or Truxedo Truxport or retractable covers with t slots similar to the Retrax Pro XR. If you have a question about your cover, send us a message!
Ford Ranger
On many Ranger builds we've noticed a gap between the bed cap and the metal rail underneath. For a snug fit we recommend adding a 1/8" shim to fill that gap. This has been a truck by truck occurrence, please let us know if you need the shims to be included with you rack.
Truck Caps
Our 24.5" rack is compatible with SoftToppers and Flated Cap Height Toppers. Other Caps that do not overhang the bedsides may be compatible with some additional gaskets such as Fastop or OVS . Traditional ARE or Leer Caps that overhang the bedside are not compatible without significant modification.
Fit Guarantee & Warranty:
We will send you a refund + shipping if our brackets do not fit within 30 days. Just send us pictures and information regarding the incompatible tonneau cover for our records.
All of our products are backed by our 2-year full replacement warranty for any defects. See more information here.
Returns
You have 30 days to try out the product on your truck, if it doesn't work for your needs just ship it back to us for a refund. The product must be complete and in good condition.
