That's awesome. Nice and low profile. Which light bar do you have mounted to it?
Pretty sure Frontrunner has a roof rack that works with the current gen 2500's as well. One works with a sunroof and one doesn't.

Sorry, didn’t see this question. The light bar is Diode Dynamics out of STL.

Same exact cab. Nobody will sell their 4th gen rack for the 4.5s because of the shark fin. It is in the way no matter what you do. Won’t work with any rack at all let alone the low profile ones. I almost got it to work with the prinsu but light bar won’t work so now I gotta completely relocate it.

From the pictures you shared, looks like you were able to fit the Prinsu on your 4.5 Gen. You mentioned in this post that you needed to "completely relocate it". Did you mean the light bar or the rack? Thanks.

Light bar and rack won’t work with where the shark fin is. I had to move it back approximately 8” or so to get the rack in the spot I want. Used the old hole for the light bar wires. You can see it in the second picture.

Rack looks awesome imo and am very happy with it. It does make some noise though. The grooves in every bar have to be filled with something. I am going to try plastic screen edging. I tried wrapping it in paracord as you can see but I’m sure I can get it down more.

Thanks so much for the detailed photos of the sharkfin relocation. Btw, on reducing noise topic, I've been experimenting with track weather stripping such as.
Much appreciate you taking the time to share.

Yea that’s what came with my Yakima bar but have not been able to find any that look like that. Where is it from?

Search for channel weather stripping on AMZ. Btw, was wondering if you considered notching the front of the rack vs. moving the shark-fin? welcome your thoughts. thanks

I tried notching the support bar behind the front plate on the rack but it still wasn’t far enough back. Cost me an extra set of holes in my roof lmao. ****ing Swiss cheese up there now
