Ruff Rax Tent Riser Bracket — Lift Your Rooftop Tent for Maximum Versatility

Running a fully loaded overland setup means every inch of rack space matters. When your rooftop tent sits directly on the rack, it eats into the clearance you need for awnings, lighting, and recovery gear. The OVS Ruff Rax Tent Riser Bracket fixes that. Designed specifically for use with compatible Ruff Rax systems, this bracket raises your rooftop tent above the rack surface — giving you the clearance, flexibility, and functionality your build deserves.

Available in three height options — 2 inch, 4 inch, and 7 inch — the Ruff Rax tent riser bracket lets you dial in exactly how much lift you need. Whether you're clearing a set of side-mounted light brackets, making room for an awning arm, or just optimising your rack layout, there's a riser height for every setup.

Heavy-Duty Steel Construction

The Ruff Rax Tent Riser Bracket is built from heavy-duty steel and finished with a durable powder coat that resists corrosion, UV exposure, and the kind of weather punishment that comes with serious off-road travel. This isn't a bracket you'll be babying — it's engineered to handle the weight of a loaded rooftop tent mile after mile, trail after trail.

The powder-coated finish bonds hard to the steel substrate, holding up against salt spray on coastal tracks, snow and ice on mountain passes, and the constant vibration of corrugated dirt roads. It keeps looking good and performing well long after lesser finishes have peeled or rusted.

Three Height Options to Suit Your Setup

Every overland build is different. That's why the OVS tent riser bracket comes in three heights so you can choose the lift that works best for your specific rack configuration and accessories:

2 Inch Riser — Ideal for minor clearance adjustments or accommodating thin accessory brackets beneath your tent
4 Inch Riser — The most popular option for overlanders running side-mounted lights, awning brackets, or front light bars
7 Inch Riser — Maximum lift for complex builds with multiple accessories mounted beneath the tent footprint

Each height option uses the same heavy-duty steel construction and powder-coated finish. The only difference is how much clearance you get between your tent and the rack surface.

Secure Mounting with Included Hardware

The Ruff Rax rooftop tent riser bracket ships with everything you need to get it installed. Each bracket includes two sets of nylock nuts, washers, and bolts — hardware that's rated to keep your tent locked in place even on the roughest trails. Nylock nuts are specifically designed to resist loosening from vibration, which matters a lot when you're bouncing down a rocky two-track with a 100+ lb tent on your roof.

Installation is straightforward and designed to work with compatible Ruff Rax systems without any modification or fabrication. Mount it, torque it down, and your tent sits higher, more secure, and better positioned for a fully functional rack setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What height riser should I choose?
It depends on what accessories you're running beneath your tent. The 2 inch works for minor clearance needs, the 4 inch suits most awning and light bracket setups, and the 7 inch is ideal for complex builds with multiple accessories mounted under the tent footprint.

Is this compatible with all roof racks?
No. The Ruff Rax Tent Riser Bracket is designed for use with compatible Ruff Rax rack systems by OVS. Check your specific Ruff Rax model for compatibility before purchasing.

Does it come with mounting hardware?
Yes. Each bracket includes two sets of nylock nut, washer, and bolt combos — everything you need for a secure, vibration-resistant install.

Will it affect the stability of my rooftop tent?
No. The bracket is built from heavy-duty steel and uses nylock hardware specifically designed to resist loosening under vibration. Your tent stays locked in place on the trail.

Does it work with all rooftop tent brands?
The riser bracket raises any rooftop tent mounted to a compatible Ruff Rax system. The tent itself mounts to the bracket the same way it would mount to the rack directly — using standard crossbar-compatible hardware.
