[Lenander [OP]]

Yep that’s the one. Anyone know of anything better? I have seen some that go up through the bed but can’t find them for sail anywhere. I'm guessing people probably custom fab them

I'm running that exact setup on my rig.  Very nice for the money.  If you have access to a tubing bender, you can save some money and make your own.  For $60, it's a great deal.  TIG welds and plenty of length (you will need to cut a little off of each side).  One tip though:  unless you can pull the bed of your rig off, the space is REALLY tight in there.  Fish-plate some 3x3" squares of plate steel (3/16" thick) on each of the ends, as it's hard as hell to weld in a circle (especially in tight areas).  This way you can weld things on the bench and lay a nice bead all the way around the tube to seal the ends.  When welding to your frame, you can crank some easy vertical welds on each side of the square plates and that pup will look nice.  It'll be twice as strong too...  Enjoy!

I just put one of those on my truck and it's really nice! the only thing is you have to cut it to the width of the frame to install it.

i have a question if you were not moving it to the to of your frame why didnt you just get square tubing and weld it to the top of your frame it would have been a lot cheaper and simpler
