Thule Cantilever Extension Is Sitting 1" Higher Than The Ladder Rack Crossbars
Updated 09/13/2021 | Published 09/12/2021
Question:
Why does the cantilever stick up 1in above the other two crossbars. The instructions say not to over load the cantilever but since it sticks up all the front weight will be on it and not the main uprights. Do I have the wrong part.

Expert Reply:
That is completely normal. Thule states that the Cantilever Extension # TH24002XT will sit about 1.5" to 2" higher than the bed racks. Once the rack system is properly loaded, it will level out with the height of the bed racks. If you are not putting much weight on the extension then it is likely just not enough weight to push the bar down level with the rest of the ladder rack. As long as you are not putting over 1,000lbs directly on the cantilever extension then you will be fine.
