They're not the only ones on the market. They're overpriced for what they are, especially since they charge an extra 599 for removable cross bars when it should come standard. Dethlof Mfg. builds a rack designed for Ram trucks. Not a one size fits all that you'll see on Fords and Chevys.

Dethloff’s website doesn’t show any racks for trucks with the standard bed.

Correct, I inquired about that as well, he's currently working on one for those of us without the optional Ram Boxes. I find it funny that he chose to build the first ones for the Ram Box beds as most don't have that option. While his rack is cheaper than Nuthouse, it's still nearly $2100 for a base rack, so it' s not much cheaper.

Personally I think the Nuthouse rack is a better design and he has better welds, it's also made from aluminum. These are two of the only options out there for these full size rigs, but you can always have someone local fab you something.

Nice build thread! Do you get any rubbing with your new 37s?

With factory wheels the only rubbing is on the antisway bar. When aired down it isn’t really an issue.

Loving the Nuthouse rack, I just finalized the build details on mine, it should be ready in June! I went with an aftermarket wheel that has a +18mm offset and 5.75" back space and is 9" wide. Hopefully they clear with the 37's with minimal to no trimming required.
