The 1/8" steel bed towers provide rigid attachment to the bedsides while ABS protective pads distribute load on the bed. Light-weight, strong, slick sided T5 extruded aluminum load beams allow mounting options across the full length with 5/16th T-slot versatility. Our bed rack system utilizes 1.5” X 3.0” 5063-T5, Slick-Sided Aluminum Extrusions for the crossbeams because they are light and extremely strong.
ARS made the conscious effort to have the slick-sided part of the extrusion face outward, giving the rack system a clean, polished look. Most other companies opt for the easy, less-expensive approach, whereas we choose to build our systems under the philosophy of “do what it takes to make it right”.
Note: The JT Gladiator truck must have the factory trail rail system on the vehicle to mount the Hi-Riser Bed Rack System.

Our bed rack system utilizes 1.5” X 3.0” 5063-T5, Slick-Sided Aluminum Extrusions for the crossbeams (also used on the Center Support Kit) because they are light and extremely strong. The 5/16” slots also provide complete adjust-ability and customization for adding on other accessories.
