any one done this? how much longer is it than a tahoes? i want to mount my 2 lights on the stock cross bar but with the tahoes it stops to far back and i dont really want a light bar on the roof they stick up too hight imo. i was thinking of mounting a sub rail so it would cover more of roof and put my lights closer to the front of wind sheild. i will post the pics of where it would be right now if i mounted it to the bar now.

thanks

im going to guess since subs are 20" longer the rack would be around that much longer too. i might be picking up one along with some front and rear bumpers to see how the rack fits
