Front Runner Rack Height? (1 Viewer)

[ethernectar]

For those of you who have the Front Runner setup, can you share how tall it is from the roof of the car to the top of the rack for the front and rear corners?

House shopping down here in SoCal and having the ARB rack means my 200 won't fit in a standard garage. Wondering if the Front Runner would if I made the switch.

If I get a FrontRunner, I'm going to call them in LA and ask for the older style mounts. The newer, single-piece-per-side mounting rails they sell by default now are taller, because they want enough space to store their FrontRunner TABLES that can slide under them. For me, I'd rather have as low-profile as I can, but I like the FrontRunner set up. That means asking them for their older mounts. Also gives far easier access to underneath the cross rails, because you can reach under the side. On the newer style, it's all closed on the side, which means you've got limited access. So for me, it's a win-win to go with the older mounts.

Call them and ask if you're interested...

I called them earlier this week and they no longer have the shorter rails available.

I can measure when I get home. Mine has the feet though.

I have the newer mount and you're looking at 6.5" both front and rear for just the rack, any accessories will raise that further.

Oh noooo! I've been counting on that. Darn.

79.75 up front
80.5 in the back.

Now that I measure both sides she is a 1/2 inch lower on the passenger side.

I'm sitting on BP-51s up front and I currently have the 3rd row out waiting on drawers.

What's your height at the front and rear wheel wells? That would let me match the overall height to my rig as our suspensions are a bit different.

Another Front Runner rack question - how do they attach to the FR rails??? Im wondering if I could simply bolt a FR rack to my ABR rails... That would save some height and some $$...
