Solutions for Needing Ladder Rack Bars to Match Height of Roof Rack Crossbars

Question

Question:

I have a Whispbar S17 for my 2014 Tacoma access cab with Tracracs on the bed. Is there anyway I could raise the Whispbar to match the height of the Tracrac?

I wish there was, but we don't carry Whispbar anymore and when we did there wasn't a way to adjust the height of the bars.

The only solution we'd have would be a ladder rack that fits your 2014 Toyota Tacoma that has adjustable height uprights like the Thule Xsporter Pro part # TH500XT-XK3 which you could use to match the height of your ladder rack.

Or you could install the cantilever # TH24002XT which attaches to the front crossbar of the ladder rack you have to give you an additional crossbar.
