Question:

Hi, I have a Ram 2020 1500, the bed is 57. Am I correct I need to order the short and not the long side bar support system for the Yakima Overhaul HD?

Expert Reply:

Since you have the 5-1/2' bed on your 2020 Ram 1500 you'll probably want to use the Short Bed SideBar Rails # Y01153 for your OverHaul HD Ladder Rack # Y01151-58 as opposed to the Long Bed SideBar Rails # Y01154.

There is some adjustability in the length for the SideBar Rails though so you can just verify how much space you have between the legs of the ladder rack to see which kit works best for you. Here are the length ranges for both SideBar Rail kits:

Short Bed SideBar Rails # Y01153 - 38-3/4" to 62-1/8"
Long Bed SideBar Rails # Y01154 - 62-3/4" to 86-15/16"
