    Really comes down to personal preference. I prefer the low profile options for racks, mainly due to aesthetics and the wind-drag factor. Some people want things higher up to store things underneath or if they have a RTT w/ annex that needs a higher rack to fully utilize the space.

    Any update on which one you went with? considering the same 18in for the space or 12in for the wind and and weight distribution? Not a fan of loosing my back window though.

    I like the high bed racks. Way more room in the bed and more utility. But if you’re going to keep a RTT on there get the mid so you don’t have a big brick sticking up.
