Has anyone installed a Tonneau cover that lets you use a Back Rack and side rails ?
Looking at roll up models
See some the mount flush with the bed rail and not sure if the hardware from the Back Rack Head Ache Rack and Back Rack Side rail would get in the way

Thanks

Yeah, this is something that should have been addressed before buying the rack

BackRack makes shorter versions of all their popular racks to be used with their 'tonneau cover adapter Kit'
(In your case, BRK50117)

Now, you can still use the kit with the rack you have, but it will raise it up a few inches, and might block the 3rd brake light

Back Rack has a raised attachment that might work

This is somewhat of a joke OF Course, you have to figure out who owns what
Is it BackRack
Is it Real Truck
Is it Truck Hero ...
RealTruck.com:
RealTruck.com has operated as Truck Hero's e-commerce arm and consumer brand since 2015.

Lund International, a portfolio company of Highlander Partners, merged with Truck Hero.
