Question:

I have a toolbox on my short bed 2020 F150 which really minimizes the distance between the base plates on my overhaul HD rack. I want add these side rails. What would be the minimum distance needed inside edge to inside edge between the base plates to be able to install the side rails?

Hey Preston, the minimum length the SideBar Rails for Yakima OverHaul HD and Outpost HD Truck Bed Racks # Y01153 can go down to is 38-3/4 inches. That's a little over 3 feet so this should have enough clearance with your tool box in your truck bed.

Hey Preston, did the SideBar Rails fit well with your toolbox in the truck bed? I'd like to hear your outcome because it could give others confidence when setting up their racks.
