    That's a work in progress. The BakFlip rails were recently redesigned and will not work with the Elevate rails, but they are going to make a BakFlip rail with a built in t-slot, similar to the rail on the Revlover X4TS, that way it will work with the Elevate Rack without the need for the supplement t-slot rail. That product will most likely be unveiled at SEMA and my guess is that we'll see them start shipping around the end of the year.

  • @ToddsTruckLife
    @ToddsTruckLifeАй бұрын

    @papillon5537 warranty claims are only denied if the aftermarket parts or tune caused damage. I've had mine in for recalls, and my techs are cool with it. I always return to stock before any kind of service, then reinstall the tune when I get it back, because they usually flash the PCM for updates, and that will erase anything written and can create problems if you try to reinstall after that. Then you have to get the tuning company's service reps to help restore everything.

    I installed a set on my 2004 GMC Yukon and it made a world of difference in towing my travel trailer. I removed the springs and it was still a pain to install. Now that I have my 22 FX4 with the 4K and I tow a max weight travel trailer, I'm going to install the same kit on mine this weekend. I'm glad to see it is possible to do without disassembling the rear control arms. I was dreading that part. I will attempt to use a vacuum pump to pull most of the air out and then attempt to squeeze the air bags in.

    The Gator EFX hard tonneau cover works with the Elevate rack. I installed them both on my '22 Ram 2500. What I do not like is the lack of Molle panel options. Very limited. Also, anyone with a 1/2" socket wrench and set of Allen wrenches can dismantle this pretty easily and make off with parts or all of your rack. Other than that, a very sturdy, adjustable system..

    How much static weight realistically do you think? I know at 751 lbs its not going to cave but between myself and the people i want to put in my RTT it might be close to or right at 750. 2nd part of the question, how easy does this work with a Tundra Factory tonneau?(Bakflip mx4)

  • @ToddsTruckLife
    @ToddsTruckLife3 ай бұрын

    Weight ratings were established for a full-size truck model, at the tallest setting because the taller the uprights and further apart they are, the weaker the scenario. Static is 750 pounds. That's if you're parked at the campsite with all the people and gear in the tent. 500 pounds driving on the street and 250 bouncing down the trail. Unfortunately, with the way the rail attaches to the threaded Deck Rail holes on the Tundra, it can't accommodate a t-slot rail to be sandwiched between the bed cap and the cover's rail.

But the newer generation covers don't clamp the same, and the aluminum mounting brackets bolt directly into the threaded holes in the top of the bed. That design doesn't work with the t-slot rails.

    I had my X4S installed with the t-slot rails and it worked great, but there were some engineering tollerance changes, and some people have had fitment issues. Fortunately, the Revlover X4TS is scheduled to start shipping at the beginning of April, and that has a t-slot built into the rail, so there won't be a need for the additional t-slot rail and the installation will be much simpler.

    You can route the fill value to any place you want. I have mine set up so that I can have different pressures in each bag, so i have 2 valves, and i wanted a convenient and intuitive location for each valve if I need to fill manually. I also have the Wireless Air kit from AirLift, that I haven't had the time to install yet, but that will allow me to control the bag pressure remotely with my phone app or with their controller. Most people will probably keep the bags at the same pressure and only need 1 fill valve, and it's easier to find a convenient and intuitive location for 1 valve than it is for 2.

    Hi there, just got my maverick a few days ago. Real truck reps told me i could use this rack system to haul extension ladders. What do you think? Our longest ladder is about a 32 footer so about 17' long when unextended and would hang over the roof by quite a bit, but i believe these racks go higher. Do you think these would work for me?

  • @ToddsTruckLife
    @ToddsTruckLife7 ай бұрын

    Yes, the rack will work, but I'd recommend either a cab rack for the ladder extension above the cab, or at least a compressible pad to go between the ladder and the front of your cab. Keep in mind, there is only about 3 1/2 feet between the load bars, so if you have a foot hanging off the back, then you have 12 1/2 feet hanging off the front. You want something to relieve the stress from the front. When I haul a full-size canoe, I'll let it rest on a pool noodle above the cab. When I tighten my rachet straps on my front load bar, it compresses the pool noodle, holding it in place and balancing the pressure. Hope that's helpful! 🙂
