ACS FORGED TONNEAU: The Complete Bed Rack for Your RAM Tonneau Cover The complete ACS FORGED TONNEAU rack — all-aluminum, fully modular, and designed to run over a compatible T-Slot Rail tonneau cover you own or plan to buy. In stock. This is the complete rack, not a conversion kit — you'll need a compatible tonneau cover, owned or purchased separately. Note: not compatible with RamBox. ✓ Tonneau-integrated rack — runs over your retractable tonneau cover instead of a bare bed. ✓ Fully modular — swap accessories in minutes with patented TrakLok nuts, with no need to remove another accessory first. ✓ Cross-brand compatible — fits most T-20 slot Thule, Rhino-Rack, and Yakima accessories. ✓ Adjustable height — 23" standard, adjustable up to 4" taller with the Forged Riser Kit. ✓ Convertible — adapts to a standard ACS FORGED, ACS NDNS, or another bed length if you change vehicles down the road. Compatible Tonneau Covers Our system is currently compatible with the following retractable tonneau covers: Retrax Pro XR (manual or electric), Retrax EQ, Retrax One XR (manual or electric), Pace Edwards Explorer Series Rails, and Pace Edwards UltraGroove. Other covers not listed have either not been tested, or their T-slot dimensions and/or retractable portion may interfere with rack installation and operation — call us to verify fitment on covers not listed.
