How High is Factory Rack?

[JT58Bronc]

Hey, need some help- how tall is the factory roof rack? (From the roof, how high is it off the roof). Or how tall is a Bronco with Sasquatch with it installed?

I have a dilemma- I really need to be able to transport kayaks and paddle boards. My Sas barely clears my garage door in my tiny condo garage- there may be 2" tops to spare. So I am wondering if it will clear with a factory roof rack installed. I am exploring options to get the factory rack and the cross bars (very expensive), or purchase a folding 4 X 8 trailer. The trailer folds nicely but I have so little room to store it in my tiny garage- even in the corner. And I don't want to be installing and removing the rack every time I need to haul paddle boards or kayaks.

I really need a pick up but so love the Bronco I'll have to figure something out. The Bronco is taller than I expected......

The factory rack is tall. It adds a little over 3.5" of height to my 2 door.

Thanks!

Good to know. That won't work for me. I keep the Bronco stored both at home and a storage unit (to keep it out of the brutal So Fl sun when it sits mostly all week). Additional 3 1/2" it won't clear either. So folding trailer it is......

Might be a pain, but you could keep the rack uninstalled when parked and install it once you pull it out of the garage?

Yeah I could. Seems like it would be a PIA. Is the rack one piece or multiple pieces? If one piece I would not be able to store it. If multiple pieces it could be an option......
