Question:
Hi, Is the rhino rack recon deck crossbar as strong OR stronger than the Yakima HD crossbar? If not, can I install the Yakima HD bars on the rhino rack recon deck towers? Its been a nightmare trying to find a load bar setup for my 2018 ram 2500 power wagon rambox bed. Im planning on getting a 200 lb rooftop tent over the bed of my truck. Im thinking of using 6 rhino rack recon towers and 3 cross bars to be able to handle heavy / violent off-roading. Please let me know what you think or if you have any better suggestions. Thanks.

The Rhino-Rack Reconn-Deck Crossbar - 50" Long - Qty 1 item # RR26FH is not stronger than the Yakima HD Crossbar item # Y01158 especially when used for off-road purposes.
The Rhino-Rack Reconn-Deck Truck Bed Rack item # RR33SP has a 330 lbs capacity when you are on paved roads or off-roading. When your truck is sitting idle this bed rack has a 826 lbs static capacity. I am not sure what tent you have but unless it's big enough to fit 626 lbs of people in it you should be good with just using one of these two crossbar sets.
As far as your question about the crossbars goes, the answer is no. You can not put Reconn-Deck Crossbars on a Yakima Ladder Rack.
