    Rhino Rack Too High

    The standard Rhino Rack mounts are very high.
    Has anyone managed to lower their rack.
    I'm thinking of custom making some lower mounts.

    Yes there is a thread with this, it has been done ✅

    By the time I search for it for you (out the door now) someone else will most likely answer this or post slink etc.

    I have designed and 3d printed some legs that sit the tray about 25mm above the roof. Will have 6 mounting points. I wanted the tray as low as possible to help with lifting my kayak up there regularly.

    What length is your rack?
    I have the backbone on mine which is about a low as you can go.
    I'll post some pics

    I've got the backbone mounting system and the top of the tray sits about 90mm from the roof of the car.

    It was the lowest mounting system I could find.
