Billie Bars 5 vs 8 Inch: Which Bracket Height Do You Need?
Every Billie Bars bed rack comes in two standard bracket heights, and this choice affects how you use your truck bed. Here's the real difference between billie bars 5 vs 8 inch brackets.
5" Low Profile Brackets
Underside clearance: 3.5" from bed to crossbar underside
Best for: Hauling bikes, kayaks, cargo containers, lumber, and gear where you don't need to store items underneath the bars. The low profile keeps your center of gravity low and minimizes aerodynamic drag. Will the 6 inch billie bars fit on a Toyota Tacoma? Yes — the 5" brackets fit all Tacoma bed lengths and sit tight against the rails for a clean, low look.
Ideal for: Daily drivers, recreational haulers, tonneau cover users, anyone who values a sleek low profile.
8" Overland Brackets
Underside clearance: 6.5" from bed to crossbar underside
Best for: Mounting a roof top tent and still accessing gear stored in the bed underneath. The extra height creates usable storage space below the crossbars — perfect for drawer systems, toolboxes, and recovery gear. The 8 inch option includes two welded gussets per bracket for extra strength at the higher elevation.
Ideal for: Overlanders, RTT campers, anyone who needs bed access under loaded crossbars.
For retractable cover T-slot versions, four heights are available: 6", 11", 17", and 24". The taller options let you mount a roof top tent high enough to clear the cab — ideal for billie bars kayak setups where you need gear stacked at multiple levels.
Vehicle Fitment: Which Billie Bars Fit Your Truck?
Billie Bars are engineered for specific truck models — not universal. Each set is custom-fit to your truck's bed rail dimensions and mounting points. Here's what's available for the most popular vehicles.
Billie Bars Tacoma: The most popular product in the lineup. Fits all Toyota Tacoma models from 2005 to 2024 including short bed and long bed (billie bars 2019 taco long bed included). 1st gen Tacoma (1995-2004) is available as a separate SKU. The Tacoma bed rack setup is the most common overlanding platform we sell.
Billie Bars F150: Fits Ford F150 from 2015 to current. Same construction as the Tacoma version, engineered for the F150's wider bed rails. The second most popular set we carry — F150 owners use them for everything from construction site hauling to weekend camping.
Billie Bars Tundra: Fits Toyota Tundra from 2007 to current. Built for the Tundra's full-size bed dimensions with the same 1,000 lb capacity. Popular with tundra billie bars overlanders who need serious cargo capability.
Billie Bars Gladiator: Fits Jeep Gladiator from 2019 to present. Popular with Jeep owners building overland rigs because the bed bars work with the Gladiator's unique bed rail system. T-slot retractable cover version also available.
Billie Bars Maverick: Fits Ford Maverick from 2022 to current. One of the few quality bed bar options for the Maverick's compact bed. Proof that smaller trucks deserve the same quality accessories as full-size rigs.
Billie Bars Frontier: Fits Nissan Frontier from 2005 to current. A popular upgrade over the Frontier's factory bed rail system, offering the same durability and tonneau compatibility as every other model in the lineup.
Billie Bars Ford Ranger: Fits Ford Ranger from 2019 to current. Same proven construction adapted for the mid-size Ranger bed. T-slot retractable cover version available.
Billie Bars With Tonneau Cover: Compatibility Guide
One of the biggest reasons people choose Billie Bars over other truck bed racks is tonneau cover compatibility. Most bed racks force you to remove your cover entirely. A billie bars with tonneau cover setup lets you keep both.
Standard bed bars ($640-$699) work with many soft and hard folding tonneau covers. The low-profile 5" brackets sit close enough to the bed rails that most tri-fold covers close around the bracket legs. Contact us to verify compatibility with your specific cover model.
Retractable Cover T-Slot versions ($695) are specifically designed for Retrax, Roll-N-Lock, and Pace Edwards retractable tonneau covers with T-slot tracks. The brackets mount directly into the cover's built-in T-slot channels instead of the bed rails. This is the cleanest tonneau-compatible solution — the bars sit on top of the cover system with zero interference. Available for every truck model in the lineup.
Not sure whether your tonneau cover is compatible? Call us at 844-200-3979 with your truck model and cover brand. We check compatibility daily and can tell you definitively before you order.
Billie Bars Accessories: Molle Panels, Kayak Mounts & More
Billie Bars aren't just crossbars. The bed bar system is a platform for an entire ecosystem of accessories that expand your truck's capability.
Molle Panel ($265): The mid height molle panel mounts to your brackets and adds 53¾" of MOLLE-compatible gear mounting surface along your truck bed. Perfect for recovery boards, RotoPax, high lift jacks, and MOLLE bags. Made from 3/16" aluminum. Also available as a smaller molle panel for lighter setups.
Kayak Mount: The LowPro billie bars kayak mount kit raises your kayak above the cab on adjustable steel risers. Fits one kayak per mount (order two for a pair). Compatible with AA Racks or similar kayak cradles. The elevated position lets you carry a kayak without sacrificing bed access.
Tailgate Cover ($375-$495): CNC laser-cut aircraft-grade aluminum with 1/4" marine-grade foam padding. Protects your tailgate from scratches and gives you a padded surface with built-in cup holders. Available for Tacoma, Tundra, F150, Gladiator, Frontier, RAM, Silverado, and more. The billie bars tacoma tailgate is the most popular version.
Roof Top Tent Mounting: These bed bars support roof top tents up to 1,000 lbs. The 8" brackets provide enough clearance for bed access underneath the tent. A tent riser kit ($165) adds 1" or 3.5" of additional elevation when direct clamping isn't feasible. RTT mounting clamps ($47) provide secure attachment points. This is the go-to bed bar system for overlanders building a billie bars roof top tent setup.
Bike Rack: A side billie bars bike rack mount kit attaches to the crossbars, letting you carry bikes upright in the bed without a hitch-mounted rack. Keeps your hitch free for towing while securing bikes for trail access.
Awning Mount Kit ($350): Adjustable-height awning mounts attach to the crossbars, supporting any standard awning system. The compact 8" footprint leaves room to mount a roof top tent alongside the awning on the same set of bars.
Billie Bars FAQ
What is the weight capacity of Billie Bars?
The weight capacity is 1,000 lbs across all vehicle models. This is more than enough for roof top tents (120-200 lbs), kayaks, bikes, cargo containers, lumber, and recovery gear. The capacity applies to the crossbar system as a whole — spread weight evenly across both bars for optimal load distribution. The 3-year bracket guarantee covers the brackets against rust, giving you confidence the system will hold up under heavy use.
Do Billie Bars work with tonneau covers?
Yes. Standard sets work with many tri-fold and folding tonneau covers — the low-profile brackets are designed to be compatible. For retractable tonneau covers (Retrax, Roll-N-Lock, Pace Edwards), dedicated T-slot versions ($695) mount directly into the cover's track system for the cleanest integration available. Call us at 844-200-3979 with your truck model and cover brand to confirm compatibility before ordering.
What's the difference between 5 vs 8 inch Billie Bars brackets?
The 5" brackets provide 3.5" of clearance from the bed floor to the underside of the crossbar — ideal for low-profile hauling where you don't need to store items underneath. The 8" brackets provide 6.5" of clearance and include two welded gussets per bracket for extra strength, making them better for overlanding setups where you need to access gear stored in the bed beneath a loaded roof top tent or cargo. For most recreational users, 5" is sufficient. For overlanders and RTT campers, 8" is the better choice.
Will the 6 inch Billie Bars fit on my Toyota Tacoma?
Standard bed bars for Tacoma come in 5" and 8" bracket heights — there is no 6" standard option. However, the T-slot retractable cover version offers 6", 11", 17", and 24" heights. If you have a Retrax, Roll-N-Lock, or Pace Edwards cover with T-slots, the 6" T-slot version fits any Tacoma from 2005 to 2024, including short bed and long bed models. Both 5" and 8" standard versions fit all Tacoma bed lengths.
Can I mount a roof top tent on Billie Bars?
Absolutely. With 1,000 lbs of weight capacity, these bed bars handle any roof top tent on the market. For the best setup, use the 8" brackets (6.5" clearance for bed access under the tent) and add RTT mounting clamps ($47) for secure attachment. If your tent doesn't clamp directly to the crossbar profile, the tent riser kit ($165) provides additional clearance and mounting flexibility. Many of our customers run billie bars roof top tent setups on Tacomas, F150s, and Gladiators.
How do I install Billie Bars?
Installation takes under an hour with basic hand tools. Each kit includes 2 crossbars, 4 brackets, and all stainless steel mounting hardware. The brackets bolt to your truck's bed rails using existing mounting points — no drilling required on most vehicles. Torque all bolts to 20-25 ft-lbs. One person can handle it. The crossbars are removable — slide them out in seconds when you need full bed access, then slide them back in when you need to haul. All hardware and instructions are included with every order.
Are Billie Bars made in the USA?
Yes. Every product is designed and manufactured in the USA. The crossbars are high-strength anodized aluminum (3.15" × 1.57" profile) and the brackets are dual-stage powder-coated steel with zinc base. All hardware is stainless steel. The 3-year bracket guarantee covers rust — if your brackets rust within 3 years, send them back and get replacements free. Custom orders are available for non-standard truck configurations.
Can I carry a kayak on Billie Bars?
Yes. There are two ways to carry a kayak. For bed-level hauling, lay the kayak across the crossbars using standard kayak cradles (J-hooks or saddle mounts). For above-cab hauling, add the LowPro Kayak Mount Kit — steel risers lift the kayak above the cab so it doesn't block your tailgate or bed access. The riser kit fits one kayak per mount, so order two for a pair. The billie bars kayak setup works on any truck model in the lineup.
