Recommended Thule Crossbar System that Is Compatible With an A.R.E Camper Shell
Question:
I have the Thule 480R kit. I want to install it on top of my fiberglass truck topper shell - A.R.E. What fit kit should I purchase for this?

Expert Reply:
The Rapid Traverse Feet for Thule Crossbars - Naked Roof # TH480R you have is actually not compatible with your 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, so you're going to need to use something else.
For your A.R.E camper shell, I recommend instead going with the Thule TracRac CapRac Ladder Rack for Camper Shell/Truck Cap # TH29200XT.
These crossbars will mount to your camper shell, has a carrying capacity of 500-lbs, and measures 69" long x 3" wide x 1-1/4" tall.
