Recommended Roof Rack For Leer Camper Shell On 2013 Ford Raptor

Question

Question:

I have a 2013 Ford Raptor with a Leer camper shell. I have two Jackson Kayaks 12foot and 14 that weigh under 85lbs each. I would like to carry the kayaks on top of the shell. I like the Thule and Yakima racks, but have not tracks on my truck or shell. What do I need?

We do have roof racks that will work on your Leer camper shell roof.

I recommend the Thule Roof Mounted Top Rack System # THTB60. This system includes 60 inch long tracks that are permanently mounted to your camper shell roof. This system includes all the mounting hardware and a drill bit.

You can then use the Thule fit kit # THKIT3101, the feet, # TH460R. The crossbars you choose depend on the width of your camper.

You will want to make sure you do not exceed the roof weight capacity of your Leer camper roof.
