Features to know about

Carry Long Gear Above Your Truck Bed

Fas-Top Jay Bar Carrying Lumber

This JayBar ladder rack mounts to the rails used by compatible Fas-Top Pro and Sport tonneau covers, Solo toppers, and Traveler systems, adding space above your truck bed for ladders, kayaks, lumber, and other long gear. Because it uses the same Fas-Top rail system, you can keep the cover or topper in place when your setup includes one. When you need the bed open for larger cargo, a 5th-wheel hitch, or a gooseneck hitch, remove the JayBars, then fold down the topper or roll up the tonneau cover as needed.

Add Tie-Downs Where Your Load Needs Them

Fas-Top Jay Bar Side Channels

Loads change from one trip to the next. One day it's ladders, the next it's uneven stacks of lumber. The JayBar gives you tie-down points at the top of each corner post, and T-slot channels along the crossbars let you add more tie-downs wherever the load needs them. Those same channels also give you a place to mount other gear and accessories without being stuck with fixed mounting locations.

Add More Mounting Space Along the Rack

Fas-Top Jay Bar Side Bars

The JayBars handle long cargo on their own, but some loads need more than a flat surface. Add the optional JayBar side bars (FT98GJ - sold separately) when you want additional mounting space along the sides of the ladder rack for gas cans, recovery jacks, traction boards, and other gear. The side bars have T-slot channels and can be mounted at either the top or bottom position, so you can place gear where it works best for your setup.

  • How Much Weight Can Jaybar Ladder Rack Carry On 2025 Silverado / Sierra 1500 6-1/2 Foot Bed
    Caleb, on your 2025 Silverado 1500 (or GMC Sierra 1500) 6-1/2' bed, the JayBar ladder rack # FT97MJ handles 800lbs stationary (400lbs when in motion) evenly spread across both crossbars - perfect for kayaks, ladders, or lumber. It mounts into the Fas-Top rails (from either the # FT42MV tonneau or the # FT44EV topper), so the load distributes across the bed sides instead of one point. What are you planning to haul – work tools or weekend toys?

  • Can I Still Access Stake Pockets / Bed Rails On 25 Silverado/Sierra 6-1/2' Bed With Fas-Top Tonneau?
    Good question, Jaime. The Fas-Top soft tonneau cover # FT42MV for your 2025 Sierra 1500 (and Silverado 1500) with 6-1/2' bed just clamps to the top of the bed rails but leaves the stake pockets mostly open. Keep in mind the stake pockets will be somewhat blocked, so it does depend on what accessory you are wanting to add. You can still use rail-mounted tie-downs # FT25YJ on the tonneau cover rails, or add the JayBar # FT97MJ later without any mods or drilling. Are you planning to add...

  • Can Roof Basket Or Awning Be Added To Fas-Top Jaybar Ladder Rack With Tonneau Cover And Topper Shell
    Absolutely, Patrick. The JayBar # FT97MJ uses standard-size T-slots in the crossbars, so it’ll fit most rooftop baskets, awnings, and recovery boards. Just be aware that it is a fixed system, not adjustable, so it won't be able to bring the crossbars inward for most baskets or roof top tents; some pay fit if they're long enough. On your 2025 Silverado 1500 with the Traveler # FT48RV, the combo gives you a covered, enclosed bed (switch between topper shell and tonneau cover) plus a rack...

  • Does Fas-Top Soft Camper Shell Sit Flush With Roof? 2025 Silverado/Sierra 6-1/2' Bed
    Good question, Chris. On your 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 (and GMC Sierra 1500) with the 6-1/2' bed, the Fas-Top Solo Soft Topper # FT44EV sits just below the cab roofline for a clean, streamlined look. It’s low enough that wind noise is minimal and garage clearance usually isn’t an issue, but still tall enough inside to give your cargo or pets some headroom. When you retract it, the topper stores flat in its sling at the front of the bed, staying well below the rear window. If you ever...

  • How Long Does It Take To Install Jaybar Ladder Rack On Fas-Top Tonneau Cover? 2025 Sierra 6-1/2' Bed
    Lauren, for the tonneau cover, the first-time install on your 2025 Sierra 1500 should take about 20-40 minutes with basic tools. Once it’s set up, the JayBar # FT97MJ rack can be removed or reattached in minutes since it uses the pre-clamped Fas-Top rail channels from your # FT42MV tonneau. No drilling, no modification, just bolt-on. Are you adding it for work or weekend use?

  • Can Fas-Top Tonneau Cover Be Rolled Up / Removed When JayBar Ladder Rack Is Installed On 25 Sierra?
    Yes you can, Mark. The JayBar ladder rack # FT97MJ mounts into the same tracks as the # FT42MV tonneau on your 2025 Sierra 1500 6-1/2 foot bed, so you can roll up or even remove the cover without touching the rack hardware. The crossbars sit high enough to let the tonneau roll freely underneath. If you ever upgrade to the # FT26TV topper shell add-on, that’ll also work with the same rail channels. What do you plan to carry up top - work ladders or more recreational gear? That’ll help...

  • Can I Install Rooftop Tent On Fas-Top Jaybar Ladder Rack While Topper Shell & Tonneau Are Installed?
    Hey Nate, good question. The Fas-Top JayBar # FT97MJ mounts into the Traveler tonneau/topper combo # FT48RV rails on your 2025 Sierra 1500 6-1/2' bed and can handle about 500 lbs evenly distributed, so it’s structurally capable of supporting most rooftop tents, including two campers inside. That said, the JayBar uses fixed-position crossbars, not adjustable ones. The 1/4" T-slot channels fit standard tie-downs, lighting, and awning brackets, but before mounting a rooftop tent it’s a good...

  • Which Soft Camper Shell Topper Is Best For Camping In 2025 Silverado/Sierra 1500 6-1/2 Bed?
    For a dedicated camping build on your 2025 Silverado 1500 (or Sierra 1500) with 6-1/2' bed, I’d lean toward the Traveler # FT48RV, Hannah. It combines the roll-up tonneau and collapsible topper into one integrated system, so you can open either section independently and keep things tidy long-term. The Solo # FT44EV is a great standalone topper if you’d rather start simple - it installs on its own without a tonneau cover. If you ever decide you want a bed cover down the road, you can just...

  • Ladder Rack That Works With Tonneau Cover And Soft Camper Shell On 2025 Silverado 1500 6-1/2' Bed
    It is, absolutely, Shawn. The JayBar # FT97MJ was designed as the universal rack for the entire Fas-Top system family, so it bolts into the same side tracks used by the # FT48RV combo setup or any of their tonneaus/toppers. That way you can keep both your tonneau and topper installed and still have a functional rack for kayaks, boards, or ladders. Are you planning to leave it on full-time? If not, you can easily remove it seasonally.

  • Can I Keep Fas-Top Soft Topper Shell On 2025 Silverado 6-1/2' Bed When Adding JayBar Ladder Rack
    Hey Kevin, you can absolutely keep the Fas-Top # FT44EV topper shell on your 2025 Silverado 1500 while adding the JayBar # FT97MJ. The rack is made to bolt directly into the side tracks of the topper or tonneau rails, so both systems work together without interference. You actually can't even install the JayBar ladder rack without first having a tonneau cover or topper from Fas-Top already installed since that is the base for the JayBar. You’ll still be able to open and retract the topper...
