It features single-piece aluminum alloy uprights and custom 10.9 alloy steel fasteners that deliver unmatched strength. Weighing just 85 pounds, this rack provides an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio while standing 23 inches tall when measured from the top of the bed caps. 85 lbs Lightweight 400 lbs Off-Road Dynamic 800 lbs On-Road Dynamic 1400 lbs Parked Static "I put the ACS FORGED on my RAM 2500 for a cross-country overlanding trip. Fully loaded with a heavy tent and gear pods, it didn't budge. The fact that I didn't have to drill into my bed rails made the installation stress-free. Best investment for my build." - Mike T., RAM Owner Quad-Rail Load Beam Design: Four-sided T-slots accommodate endless accessories from Leitner, Thule, Rhino-Rack, and Yakima.
