• Can 78" Yakima HD Bars for 2018 Ford F-150 BedRock be Cut for Custom Length
  The Yakima BedRock HD Truck Bed Rack # Y01160-59 with the 78" crossbars is what Yakima test fit for your 2018 Ford F-150 and since the next size down is 10" less with the 68" HD Bars # Y01158 I am a little skeptical that the system would work. I reached out to my contact at Yakima who also had hesitations about the 68" bars fitting and they also said that ultimately you can cut the HD bars if you really want to but they don't really recommend doing that because you won't be able to fit...

• Parts Needed to Add Yakima Crossbars to Retrax Tonneau Cover with T-Slot Rails
  For your setup I recommend the TrackTowers for Yakima Crossbars and Platforms - Track Mount # Y52AV which includes everything you need to mount Yakima crossbars to your Retrax cover (unless you plan on using the Round or HD bars - then you'll need an additional adapter). To mount the SkyLine Towers # Y53TR to your tonneau cover you would need the 2 of the Landing Pad 1 # Y00221 kits as well which is why I recommend the first kit I mentioned. Most truck ladder racks use longer crossbars...

• What Kayak Carrier do You Recommend that Fits the Yakima HD Crossbars?
  I have a great kayak transportation route for you. Unfortunately, the Malone MegaWing # MPG207 and SeaWing # MPG107MD do not have clamps that are able to mount onto the Yakima HD Crossbars like the # Y01158. This is because the Yakima Crossbars are too thick. However, for a great kayak carrier that can clamp onto the bars is the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style or Post Style - Folding - 1 or 2 Kayaks # Y04073. Since the cradles on the JayLow can accommodate crossbars...

• Parts Needed to Use Yakima HD Crossbars w/ Retrax XR Pro Tonneau Cover w/ T Slots
  Yes, the Yakima HD 68” crossbars 68” Item # Y01158 will work with your F-150. Yours are the same length as the ladder racks that fit your truck. The only way to mount Yakima HD crossbars to the slots of a Retrax Pro Tonneau cover like item # RTX32SR is to use the Yakima OutPost HD Overland Truck Bed Rack Uprights item # Y01152 and the Tonneau Cover Adapter Kit item # Y01155. There's no feet kit for tonneau covers that are compatible with HD crossbars. These uprights are 13" tall and...

• What High-Capacity Kayak Carrier Fits Yakima HD Crossbars?
  You are definitely correct that the Yakima JayLow # Y04073 has a weight capacity of 80 pounds. For your 95-pound kayak, we need to pull out the heavy artillery. For a great kayak carrier that can mount to Yakima HD Crossbars like the # Y01158, I recommend the Yakima BigCatch # Y04091. I confirmed with my tech at Yakima that the clamps on this carrier definitely fit the HD crossbars. The BigCatch comes with a massive 150-pound weight capacity. Since the carrier is a saddle-style design,...

• Parts Needed To Mount Yakima HD Bars To RSI Smartcap Evo Sport
  Hello Reed, thanks for reaching out. I looked up the RSI Smartcap Evo Sport and it looks like this already has T-tracks built in. You can use the TrackTowers # Y52AV and the HD Bar SL Adapters # Y03541 to mount the Yakima HD bars such as the # Y01158 which are 68" long. I do suggest you measure the distance between the tracks to make sure you get an appropriately sized crossbar.

• Recommended Crossbar Size for Yakima Overhaul HD on 2019 Ram 2500
  You really could use either one of the 68" # Y01158 or 78" # Y01159 bars, but I have a feeling that the 78" bars are going to stick out a little bit too far, so I do recommend going with the 68" Yakima HD Bars # Y01158. Obviously having longer bars means more space, but the usable space outside of the bars really isn't all that beneficial since it's not going to be able to bear heavier loads. The only time I would recommend going with longer bars in this case is if you were using an awning...

The strips are meant to fit into a 11mm wide channel that widens to 22mm, as shown in the provided diagram. If you'd care to reply with the width of the T-slots on your factory crossbars, I can look for other fits if these won't work for you.

• Correct Size Yakima HD Crossbar for a 2016 Ford F-150
  The recommended size Yakima HD Crossbar for a 2016 Ford F-150 is 60", part # Y01157, this should provide around a 3-4" overhang which is standard. If you want to go with a longer option like 68" part # Y01158, you can do so but you'd have more overhang. This could be calculated for each bar size using the info above. In order to complete this setup you'll need the following; part # Y28TR, part # Y03541, and part # Y06122.

• Can Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier be Installed on Yakima HD Bars Using T-Slot
  The Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # Y04073 doesn't have a T-Slot adapter but they do fit crossbars with max dimensions of 3-1/2" x 1-11/16". Since the Yakima HD Crossbars like the 68" # Y01158 only measure 3" wide x 1-1/2" tall you will be able to use the clamping system that comes with the JayLow to mount them to this size crossbar. If you're wanting a way to secure them a little bit more to help deter theft then I recommend adding the 2-pack lock core set # Y07202. If you're...

• Recommended Strongest Bed Rack for a Off-Roading w/ a 2018 Ram 2500
  The Rhino-Rack Reconn-Deck Crossbar - 50" Long - Qty 1 item # RR26FH is not stronger than the Yakima HD Crossbar item # Y01158 especially when used for off-road purposes. The Rhino-Rack Reconn-Deck Truck Bed Rack item # RR33SP has a 330 lbs capacity when you are on paved roads or off-roading. When your truck is sitting idle this bed rack has a 826 lbs static capacity. I am not sure what tent you have but unless it's big enough to fit 626 lbs of people in it you should be good with just...
