What is Height Added with Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform BackBone System

Published 01/12/2022

Question:

What is the height of the backbone system when installed vs the Yakima Skyline Towers? Also, for a 60x54 platform would I need the short or long universal backbone system for my SnugTop Cap?

The Rhino Rack Backbone and Pioneer Platform systems add right at 3-1/2 inches to the height of the vehicle.

For a 60 by 56 inch Pioneer Platform with Backbone system that was designed for camper shells you'd want the part # RR63ZW.

The Skyline towers without fit kits are 3 inches tall.
