Recommended Way to Transport Kayaks and an ATV On a 2015 Ram 2500 With RamBox Bed
Question:
Hi I see this will work for a Dodge truck without ram boxes, looking for the same thing as I want to take my kayaks and ATV in the back of my truck but I have a short bed with Ram boxes. I have a 2015 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel with Ram Boxes.

I have a recommendation for you as the only ladder racks we have for your 2015 Ram 2500 with the RamBox bed are only 11" from the top rail. The Rhino-Rack Reconn-Deck Truck Bed Rack # RR33SP will only sit 11" above your bed rails and have to attach to the Ram factory utility tracks.
I recommend the Yakima Hitch Mounted Load Bar # Y01149-1150 be used with the Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars # TH712500. The crossbars will mount to the roof of your Ram with the Feet # TH710501 and Fit Kit # TH145106. For the Goalpost I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7900 on the front of your Ram, this will allow you to have your tailgate down for your quad and still be able to trailer tow. Both the roof rack and load bar are rated for up to 165lbs each allowing you to carry multiple kayaks above your truck.
The Malone Deluxe Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # MPG152 will give you foam blocks for your kayak to rest on and straps to secure it in place.
