There aren't specifications on how close to the cab or tailgate that the Erickson Truck Bed Ladder Rack # EM07708 can be mounted; they can really be mounted anywhere since they basically wedge between the bed rail and the truck bed. This will make them easy to remove when you don't need to have them attached.

Yakima's Skyline towers part #Y53TR can fit the tracks of the Retrax XR that you have with the landing pad 1 part #Y00221 but there isn't a way with the Baseline towers. Your Yakima Corebar or Jetstream bars will work with the Skyline…

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…
