The total length of the bars end to end is 43 9/16" and the measurement between the rails is 43 3/16"Anyone with OEM crossbars, can you share the length of them? I'm looking at a rail change. Many thanks.
Hey thro1 that dimension is 17" (front of rear rail to hatch - being open and at the center-line right behind the shark fin .You've been a huge help here JLH! Greatly appreciated.
Now, I'm pretty sure I won't have tailgate clearance issues....but better to be on the safe side. What's the clearance from off the front of rear rail mount to the tailgate opened?
If my math is right I'll need 10 1/4" inches to clear. It will be riding above the rail a couple inches for sure, but the baseline will give me a worst case scenario. I showed it on yours here closed:

I got 49 3/16". I can double check for you but am away from it till this evening.Oh wow, so the whole gap between front and rear brackets is less than 48"?
With the tailgate open, I get 17 3/4" at the base of the rail support to the bottom leading edge of the tailgate.You've been a huge help here JLH! Greatly appreciated.
