Bed mounted bike rack

[jlsalani]

Have a 2022 2500 on its way to replace my well used 1500. On my 1500 I had added Yakima rails to the bed rails and then used their crossbars. On that I had a 1UP tray. worked really well but there were a couple of issues. One; had to drill into my bed top rails to install the channels. Two; I could not roll the tonneau cover back as the rack was too low. I had a TruXedo LoPro and like it and will most likely get that one again. I saw that they have channels that they sell also that works with the cover. Does anyone have them if so, do you like them are they stable, etc. I also started looking for a higher "foot" for the cross bars and found Go Rhino XRS. TruXedo also makes a cross bar but seems a bit high for the bike rack but would be good for kayaks. Input would be appreciated

Look up the Dee Zee rail system. I have seen a cold of trucks with these and need covers.

Check out KBVoodoo's crossbars, I'm pretty sure that are compatible with the Truxedo, they don't require any drilling into the truck, and they have also narrow cargo trays allowing you two mount a bike on each side of the tray. I think they have full size bed racks up to 24" also if you wanted more height. This picture was pulled of their website, not a RAM obviously, but they have the same options for the 2500.
