Thinking through rack designs. trying to weigh pros and cons of each. i basically have it narrowed down to 5 different styles.
bed floor mount options:
A- top bar runs in front of the 3rd brake light but has a "tunnel" out of 1/4 plate that interupts the top bar so you can see the brake light
B- top bar runs above the thrid brake light. this would be useful for mounting lights that see over the hood. but is unnecessary for this truck since it has front roof mounted lights.
C- top bar is under the 3rd brake light. but creates kind of a "squaty" look imo.
bedrail mount with bed floor supports:
D- drops the long slanted bars that connect to the bed and instead rides on the bed rails but then also has the added supports that run to the floor so the rack is holding the bedsides in place vs the bedsides being the main mount point...
thoughts opinions....? personally i like A the best...
