Recommended Hitch Mounted Bed Extender To Extend Truck Bed Rail Height Cross Supports

Question

Question:

Im looking for a hitch mounted bed extender for a nissan frontier where the support height would match the height of the cross supports inside the truck bed so roughly something 15inch higher than the floor of the truck bed. This would be for supporting sheet goods loads using three 2x6 cross supports in the slots in the bed above the wheelwells.

We don't have a system that is quite as precise a fit as what you are asking for a bed extender on your Nissan Frontier. The bed extender we have that is most likely to meet your needs is the Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Extender # MPG907. This is only because of the goal post style carrier to give you that increased height. Along with the 7 inches of vertical adjustment to meet the bed of your truck. You would still need to have a cross support for this functionality on the extender.
