Can I Easily Install and Remove the Adarac Pro Series Ladder Rack item # A45DJ in a 2022 GMC Sierra?

Question

Question:

We are very interested in this product but wonder if it is possible to easily remove racks and then re-install when needed??? We want the rack for kayak use in summer. Dont want the racks on all winter ... And, if the answer is Yes, it is reasonably possible, Will the off and on and off and on compromise the longevity of the stability and sturdiness??

The Adarac Pro Series item # A45DJ attaches to your Sierra 1500's stake pockets and is super easy to install and remove. I have linked the instructions below so you can see the installation process.

Because the Retrax PRO MX Tonneau Cover #RT80467 for the 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 covers the bed rails, you would not be able to use a ladder rack like the Thule TracRac #TH27000XT since that rack requires the use of the bed rails. The only tonneau…

According to Rhino Rack, if you were to go with the shorter bars, you'll only have 1-1/4 inch of leeway on each side which isn't enough in their opinion. I'd recommend going with the 71 inch bars so you'll be certain of a good fit. As…
