[QUOTE="skallagrime, post: 12389184, member: 84021"]No regulation on having tape or distance from cab (unless the headache rack obscures the back of the cab, then place reflectors on headache rack as if it were the back of the cab) As far as mounting the only one that exists is "must be mounted in a workmanlike manner" - translation, "mount it well enough that it doesnt look like its going to fall off. If you have air ride, i would make sure as the air goes up and down it doesnt get closer than 3 inches from the back of the cab. As for raising it, i wouldnt recomend it, any extra peices of material that lengthens your ubolts will mean that the rack has more leverage and increases potential for wobble. At most i might consider a small rubber shim strip to keep aluminum from touching the frame.[/QUOTE]
