Specs:
The Buyers Products ladder rack extends over the roof of your truck to better support your load and distribute its weight. The extra length allows you to carry longer loads without having to worry about overhang or hauling too much weight at the rear of your vehicle.
The ladder rack mounts to your truck bed rails with included hardware. Simply position the upright bases at the desired position along your bed rails, and use the J-bolts, washers, and nuts to clamp them in place. Each base is secured to the bed rails with 2 J-bolts.
The ladder rack includes raised side rails that provide load support and help prevent cargo from sliding off during transport. They also make great anchors for securing items with straps, ropes, or bungees.
The ladder rack uprights include multiple tie-down points - including cutouts and cleats - for securing your cargo.
The ladder rack has a removable rear crossbar that makes it easy to load tall items into your truck bed. Simply remove the latch pins on either side of the crossbar and lift it up and off of the rack.
Curved grab handles on each side of the rack at the rear help you gain leverage when lifting cargo up and onto the crossbars.
The ladder rack is constructed of durable carbon steel. Carbon steel allows the ladder rack to carry up to 1,000 lbs of cargo so it's more heavy duty when compared with other, similar steel ladder racks. It has an e-coat and a black powder coat for corrosion resistance. And the textured, wrinkle-style finish adds a touch of style.

Walter - 09/02/2020While I have not taken my new Rack out of the Box yet, I have to say that I am very impressed with your system of Communication once an order is placed, and then your expedience in Shipping.....to Hawaii no less! George was great, asking me twice if i wanted to alter my order for the 800lb rack, since the 1000lb rack was not in stock. I stuck with my order and the moment it was available, he let me know. He then shipped it an within 6 days, I received it. You guys rock!!
I have a 2013 chevy silverado and I have purchased this Item: I loved how it fits and also the appearance that my chevy has taken very happy with the quality too. 100% recommended
Two of us installed this on my 2016 f150 6.5 bed. We built it in the bed of truck, instead of on the ground. Took about 4.5 hours. I'm quite impressed with the quality (big bolts, self locking nuts). No damage out of box, and all parts included. J hooks are heavy duty. All ladder racks make noise. On my truck it starts at 40 mph. I wrapped front cross beam with a half inch rope to see if it will break up the vortex. If the rope trick doesn't quiet the rack, I'll purchase the metal wind reflector.
Great rack. I've loaded mine to the hilt with lumber and never felt the need to worry
Seems to a very nice ladder rack have it put together but not on my truck yet.
works as advertised and is holding up
A great ladder rack I have 3 of these on my company trucks , & this is the best priced company I have found for it . On the down side though the package was torn open in multiple places & had places on the rack itself that was scratched down to the metal which ruins the powder coat finish over time , but other that & a extra week delay in shipping it's a good deal. Very easy to put together and you really need 3 people to install on the truck to make sure that you don't ding up something.
Review from a similar Universal OTC Rack in Ladder Racks
Over seems to be a good product. More pictures would have sped me up but not that tough to put together. Make sure to tighten the larger bolts slowly or use anti-seize lubes as it can weld itself together from the heat of friction only drawback with S.S bolts. One nut was missing outside of that it was complete.
Wesley - 02/01/2021Review from a similar Universal OTC Rack in Ladder Racks
I think it has a design flaw - The instructions are at On sheet 2, pictured is 'Bolt Set C' that shows 2 carriage bolts installed in 2 slots at opposite ends of bracket 8. Being at the end of a slot, the aluminum bracket will deflect a bit, which leads to looseness, which causes the bolt to slip out of the slot. When this happens twice, the bracket is loose, then it rattles over to the side and pushes the plastic end cap off. After the end cap is off, the bolt set falls off. It could be remedied with doubler plates, each with two holes to keep the bolts from moving away from each other. In addition, as another reviewer wrote, the square shoulders on 2 carriage bolts rounded the parallel sides of a groove in the aluminum cross member channel. In conjunction with the nylon thread lock bolts, it became very difficult to continue assembling properly or disassemble The design needs improvement. The light weight of the aluminum is nice. The flat black paint is fading in the desert southwest sun, but still matches the truck well. We just use it to carry a kayak and occasional lumber for home projects. If I were using it professionally, I wouldn't buy this rack; I'd get a welded steel one.

Review from a similar Universal OTC Rack in Ladder Racks
The strength and durability of the aluminum is excellent. The hardware is poor. The threads do not mesh correctly. Some hardware did not even tighten and seat all the way before binding (not cross threaded) and damaging the aluminum. I had to grind off or snap the bolts to replace with better grade stainless steel hardware. After a few months, some original hardware loosened and plastic end caps were lost. I removed from truck. I just dont have the time at the moment to replace the rest of the hardware. If the hardware was of better quality, I would have rated this product a 5 star. I would buy this product again with purchasing carriage bolts and nylon lock nuts elsewhere.

Has held up well and not had hardware get loose. Nicely built and plenty of tie down spots.

Bolts are pulling threw on the rack. Scared to put anything heavier than a couple pieces of trim.
Review from a similar Universal OTC Rack in Ladder Racks
Good day to you all. For those who take the time to read reviews. What a product I have had several racks in the past that where $1800 custom made being a general contractor. This rack was very easy to assemble. Took a few hrs. Very durable looks great and saved over $1200 how could I go wrong.
Review from a similar Universal OTC Rack in Ladder Racks
The product is very nice after it is together. The instructions are had to follow. I had to buy a few extra bolts for mounting the crossbars because the originals would freeze up after a couple of turns. Besides that I think it is a great product.
Review from a similar Universal OTC Rack in Ladder Racks
During assembly, the square shoulders on carraige bolts rounded over inside cross member channel. In conjunction with the nylon thread lock bolts, the channel in the cross members stripped out; thereby making it impossible to continue taking it fully apart without ruining certain parts. It was a safety issue that mandated disassembly. Im disappointed that this product couldn't withstand assembly before failing.
