04
Built around your truck

Configurable setup
Adjust the rack around how you use your truck
The IBEX system lets you choose a lower-profile mid-height position or a taller cab-height configuration. Its telescoping crossbars adjust to suit the rack frame and truck width.
- Mid-height and cab-height configurations
- Adjustable telescoping crossbars
- Multiple mounting channels throughout the rack
- Available for multiple bed lengths and truck classes
Choose your configuration
Mid height or cab height?
There is no universally correct rack height. The best setup depends on what you carry, how often you use the truck bed and whether you prioritize a lower profile or maximum clearance.
Lower profile
Mid Height
A great option for carrying cargo closer to the bed. Mid height may help reduce the overall profile of rooftop tents, cargo boxes and other equipment.
Maximum clearance
Cab Height
Cab height provides greater clearance underneath the crossbars and can help position long cargo above the truck cab.
Build it your way
One foundation. A lot of ways to use it.
Start with the IBEX rack, then choose carriers and accessories based on where you are going and what needs to come with you.
Rooftop Tents
Build a stable foundation for a compatible truck-bed rooftop tent and camping equipment.
Bikes
Carry bikes above the bed or add a compatible side-mounted bike solution.
Kayaks & Boards
Position longer watercraft over the bed and cab using the appropriate carrier and rack configuration.
Cargo & Equipment
Add crossbar-mounted cargo solutions, MOLLE panels and equipment mounts to organize your setup.
Rack and cover combination
Pair the IBEX with select T-slot tonneau covers
With the correct Kuat adapter, the IBEX can mount to many compatible retractable tonneau covers equipped with integrated T-slot rails. This gives you covered bed storage and a versatile rack system in one package.
Fitment matters: tonneau compatibility depends on the truck, bed length, cover model, rail design and IBEX adapter. Let us verify the complete combination before ordering.

Frequently asked questions
Kuat IBEX questions
Does the Kuat IBEX fit every truck?
No. Kuat offers several IBEX frame sizes for specific truck classes and bed lengths. Your exact year, make, model, bed length and bed-rail configuration should be verified before ordering.
Can the IBEX be installed at mid height or cab height?
The IBEX is designed with versatile height configurations. The available setup and final height will depend on the specific IBEX model and installation.
Can I use the IBEX with a tonneau cover?
The IBEX can be used with many compatible retractable tonneau covers that have integrated T-slot rails when the correct Kuat tonneau adapter is used. Not every cover or truck combination is compatible.
Can the Kuat IBEX carry a rooftop tent?
The IBEX is commonly configured for compatible rooftop tents. The rack model, tent size, mounting system, vehicle limits and Kuat's applicable load ratings should all be confirmed before installation.
Can I add accessories later?
Yes. Modularity is one of the IBEX system's major advantages. Accessories such as MOLLE panels, additional crossbars, risers, bike-mount components and equipment mounts can be added as your setup evolves. Confirm the accessory matches your IBEX frame size.
Does The Rack Shop install the Kuat IBEX?
Yes. Professional installation is available at our Austin shop for Kuat IBEX racks and related equipment purchased through The Rack Shop. Appointments are recommended.
