Got gear that doesn't know when to quit? This bundle handles long ladders, kayaks, or lumber with a cantilever extension that clears your cab and supports the front. It carries the load without stressing your tailgate, or your patience.
That 16-foot kayak or extension ladder doesn't stop at the cab, so your rack shouldn't either. The cantilever extension supports the front end of long loads, so they don't bounce, sag, or shift weight where your windshield wipers live. You'll spend less time worrying about straps and more time just driving.
This isn't just for a couple pool noodles and a paddleboard. The full aluminum rack and extension hold up to 800 lbs when the load is spread out - enough for ladders, stacked kayaks, or even job-site materials. It hauls like a contractor but fits your weekend too.
You don't need to reinvent your rack setup. The T-slot bars work with common kayak carriers, ladder stops, and work accessories, so you can tweak it to fit what you haul. Bolt on what you need, remove what you don't, and skip the zip ties for good.

How's it going, neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com, and today we're gonna take a look at the Malone TradeSport and OverPass Cantilever Kit. Now, this is gonna allow you to get more use out of the negative space on top of your truck cab to get those longer items like this ladder or kayak, so let's take a closer look and see what's special about it. In your kit, you're gonna receive six load stops that you can adjust tool-free. You're just gonna be able to use the handle here and you can tie down on it and use it to keep everything secure when you're going down the road. You also have T-channel slots on three of the four sides of your crossbar. These guys are 72-inches long, and this is gonna give you this rounded end to kinda help with the noise.
Now, the downside to this, anything that has all these holes and slots, they're gonna produce a lot of noise, so that's why it does come with rubber that you can cut out to fill in those gaps for when you have your setup. Our cantilever arm is gonna come out about 30 inches, and you can also make adjustments using your Allen key to adjust for the clearance of your cab height. So, our track system on the side is also gonna allow you to use T-channel track accessories, and you also have additional support right here. These clamps are gonna be the universal clamps. They bite underneath the bed rail and give you a nice, firm grip on the back of the pickup here.
Malone does a really good job of creating a product that's lightweight, universal, and allows you to get the most out of your truck. The majority of your construction is gonna be aircraft-grade aluminum, so it's gonna hold up against corrosion, and you're gonna have some good stainless steel hardware that's gonna hold up against seizing up. So, this guy right here, Monday through Friday, you may be loading ladders and lumber, but come the weekend, you may wanna put a 16-foot canoe on this guy, and if you have a short-box Ford like the one we're using today, that's, you know, kinda challenging. This is gonna let you work hard and play hard. And on that note, I would like to see how you use your TradeSport and cantilever arm.
