    I never had a factory rack so I have nothing to compare it to. Posted some measurements though... bottom of my tracks are only .75" above the roof line. I believe the top of the rack is about 6.5" above the highest part of the roof.

    The height above roof line to bottom of the rack is what I meant to ask. .75 answers it.
    Thanks.

    From the top of the roof, but not the raised ribs, the bottom of the load bars are around .75". Then the rack sits directly on those bars.... I didn't use the mounts that came with the rack since they actually raise the rack a bit above the bars
