Recommended Thule Rail Kit for Leer Fiberglass Truck Bed Topper

Question

Question:

The Thule web site lists a 60inch top track as TB60. Is your top track THTB60 the same as the TB60 on Thules web site? Does your THTB60 come with all the hardware to mount to a Leer fiberglass topper? Is the THTB60 compatible with the Tracker II TK1 kit?

The Thule Roof Mounted Top Rack System - 60" Long # THTB60 is the same as the TB60 on Thule's web site. The system does come complete with all the hardware needed to mount to your Leer fiberglass topper including the drill bit.

This system is compatible with the Thule Tracker II TK1 fit kit. If you need the replacement, we have the Replacement FootBase Thule Tracker RoofRack FitKits # 753-2149 to assist.

It is also compatible with the updated style towers using the Thule Fit Kit for Podium Style Foot Pack # THKIT3101. This fit kit can be used with the Thule Podium Roof Mounted Foot Pack for Aero Bars # TH460R. If you don't yet have crossbars I recommend the Thule ProBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - 79" Long - Qty 2 # TH713700 which can be cut to custom length.

The Yakima 60" Tracks for Roof Racks #Y01135 will work well on a sheet metal roof. You will want to be as close to the frame weight supports as possible to maximize the weight capacity. It sounds like you want to do a customized fit but I…

You are indeed right to think this way. When picking out the appropriate leaf springs for your custom built trailer you will want to choose them based on what the actual loaded weight of the trailer will be. Just make sure that the leaf springs have…

To answer the last question first, trailer axles move not just up and down but front to back a little as well; especially when there is more than one axle. Having shocks at an angle is more ideal for that type of set up than ones mounted straight up…

Answer 12

Trailer manufacturers don't usually keep a record of parts like these that they install at the factory, so I cannot be sure as to the exact length of the shackle strap that would have come originally on your trailer. With this in mind, a 3-1/8…
