Question:
I have a 2022 Ford F150 with 67 bed. Linex branded Bak mk4s rollup tonneau. I have a need to carry 2 bikes and 2 kayaks at different times. I really like the Truxedo Elevate system. I would like Thule bike racks and kayak carriers. is there a rail/crossbar system that sits 10 above bed versus 18 of truxedo?

Expert Reply:
No, there isn't. The closest other option we have that is compatible with the BAK MK4 tonneau covers is the Adarac Aluminum M-Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # A54KG. It sits 12" above your F-150's bed rails.
Fan or not, I still recommend going with the TruXedo Elevate Truck Bed Rack System item # TX96NV especially since your hauling kayaks. You won't need the extra height with a bike rack but since you've got a super short bed you will most likely need to hang the kayaks over your cab.
Another perk is that the crossbars on the Elevate system are easy to slide up and down the length of your truck bed. The Adarac's crossbars and uprights can be moved but it involves taking bolts out and retightening them.
I have linked an installation video below so you can see the functions of the Elevate system.
For a compatible Thule bike rack and kayak carrier, I recommend the following:
Bike Rack - Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack item # TH598004
Kayak Carrier - Thule Compass Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs item # TH890000
