Crossbar Mounting Locations for Rhino-Rack Roof Rack on 2018 Ford F-150
Question:
Hi I have a 2018 Ford F150 and I am using the Rhino roof rack. I did not mark the location of the cross bar mounts when I took them off last year. I just watched the instillation video which does a good job of tell me where to place the back mount 52cm from the inside door jam but never mentions where to put the front mount. thanks

To install the Rhino-Rack Vortex roof rack system on your 2018 Ford F-150 (see parts list below) you'll want the rear crossbar to be 520 mm back from the middle of your doors for a SuperCrew cab (420 mm for a SuperCab) and then the center of the front crossbar to that same spot need to be 280 mm whether you have a SuperCrew or SuperCab. I have attached a photo showing this.
Here are the parts from your roof rack - you can find the installation instructions linked to this page as well:
59" Vortex Aero Crossbars - # RRVA150B-2
2500 Series Legs - # RRRLKVA
Fit Kit - # DK427
I'm also attaching a link to the installation video you were talking about.
