A: Smittybilt does not have an official static rating for defender racks. It all depends on the bracket system you use. As long as you don't use drill in brackets, you should have no issues with mounting a roof top tent.

A: You would need to purchase the vehicle specific mounting kit to install. Please call our sales team for further assistance Toll Free: 1-877-474-4821
