The load stops on the Erickson Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Load Stops - Aluminum - 800 lbs # EM07705 can be removed, but it would require removing some bolts and it's not the most convenient setup since the brackets wrap around the bars.

Instead, for your 2007 Ford F-150 with the 6-1/2 foot bed I recommend using the Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 450 lbs - Black # TH500XTB, which can be used with your Malone MegaWing # MPG207. The load stops can be removed easily with a knob and the crossbars on the Xsporter Pro are 3-1/2" wide by 1-1/2" tall, so the MegaWing can clamp on without any issues.

I've linked a short review video of this rack for you to check out, as well.
