The Axis fits a 2 in receiver and adjusts in height and width, with side arms that keep the load contained. A 24 in extension tube lets it work alongside truck bed rail systems such as Malone’s CrossBed. An anti-wobble plate cuts noise and movement, and foam rack pads and stability straps come in the box.

KayakDIY take: A bed extender is the simplest way to haul a long kayak in a short truck bed. For more gear, see my fishing kayak accessories guide.
