Roof Tray, Spare Wheel, Shovel, and Jack Carrier for Thule Rack on Leer Camper

Question:

Hi, I have a 2015 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab with Leer topper, to which I have installed Thule 60 Top Tracks. I have 4 Thule AeroBars, 2 with Podium towers for the topper, 2 with Evo towers for over-cab. I would like to get a Cargo Basket, primarily for spare tire, 285x60R20 approx 33 diameter. My preference would be to mount over topper for accessibility. My only concern would be weight capacity of bars/topper. Recommendations on Rack, tire mount, Hi-Lift jack mount, shovel mount appreciated. Im looking at Yakima LockNLoad Platform Y05044-39 Yakima Spare Tire Carrier Y05032 Yakima Hi-Lift Jack Carrier Y05033 Yakima Top-Grip for shovel Y04086 Or: Yakima OffGrid BasketPlatform Y05044-39 Yakima Spare Tire Carrier Y07076 Thanks!

The Yakima LocknLoad platform part # Y05044-39 would be a really great option that you could use with the other carriers you mentioned as well. The Hi-Lift Jack Carrier part # Y05033 and Spare Tire Carrier part # Y05032, and Top Grip for Shovel part # Y04086.

The Thule bars you mentioned have a 165 lb capacity so as long as you stay under that you'll be fine.
