I should have said keeps the tent below the roof line.
In that case the max modular would be better as they have a 10” high option vs RCI’s shortest being 12”. Depending on your RTT it may end up an inch or two above the cab but mostly tucked in there.
I'm also going to be drilling through my rails. I decided not to curve the brackets for my bed rack (being built this Saturday) and just have the feet/plates rest and bolt right on the top of the rail as not to interfere with my tonneau cover. Gonna be a nerve-racking endeavor!
Excellent. I'll let you go first!
It works if you don't want a tonneau cover.Would the Yakima BedRock HD not work? I can't find one with a RTT mounted to it, but it's right about bed height, with a 300# capacity.

True, but that was not part of the original request. With that stipulation, I would go with a tonneau cover with a t slot, and then the Thule/Yakima T slot towers.
Agreed. I considered that setup, but the sliding canisters take up too much bed space, especially in a supercrew.
Awesome. What hardware are you planning on for mounting? I'm worried about pulling through the sheet metal on the bed rails. It didn't seem like there was a whole lot of room underneath for backing plates/washers. I'll have a ~185lb Tepui tent mounted.The nice thing about the Truxedo Pro X15 I have is that it literally only extends over top of the bed rails maybe 3/16" leaving nearly the entire rail for mounting IF you're willing to drill through the rails and top mount a rack, bars, channels, etc. Additionally, I will be able to roll it back completely open with the bed rack in place. The bolts will be on the inside of the legs so they'll be fairly concealed. I designed this so that the inside of the feet land right outside the tonneau rails by about 1/16".
