Recommended Roof Rack System for Truck Bed Camper Shell

Question

Question:

Hi, I just purchased a SnugTop camper shell for my 2008 F-150 Supercrew 6.5 bed and was wondering what my options are for a roof rack. There are no rails on the shell. I would prefer not to spend a ton of money but am looking at all options. Thanks!

For your SnugTop Camper Shell I recommend the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack System w/ 2 Vortex Aero Crossbars - Track Mount - Black - 59" Long # Y02-490B. This kit has absolutely everything you need to add the tracks and roof rack to your SnugTop camper shell.

If you want 65 inch long bars then use # Y02-500B.
