Canoe/Kayak/Ladder Rack dimensions

[GeekFisher]

Hi all,

I would like to add a rack on my 04 Avalanche so I can conveniently carry my fishing Kayak. Mine doesn't have the OEM roof rack. I know some guys around here did theirs and I was wondering if someone has the measurements. I'm especially interested in height, lenght and angle of the rear part so the bed side storage boxes can open. Planning on using the sail panel top bolts and the bed handles as anchor points. I would like to be able to use the bed if need arise.

Thanks in advance,

When I found the Avalanche I wanted one thing was missing, a roof rack. I do a bit of kayaking and want to be able to transport camping gear under the cargo cover and still be able to have my yak loaded above. Since I do not like aftermarket clip on roof racks I came up with this rack system.
