I ended up put spaces to lift it off the side rails a bit and I also detached the cross bar and measured because tightening is impossible when it’s on the rack. Hope this helps and people can improve on my design
 
About a week I’ve only taken it on the street. Not much noise sometimes I’ll hear it bump off the cap rack if I hit a big pot hole. I’ll let you guys know as I get more miles on it

I just looked a bit closer, is the tent spanning the shell rack and the cab rack? If so you will definitely want to move the tent mounting to just one or the other as the cab and bed twist and flex at different rates apart from each other. You would be placing competing stressors on the different rack mountings and that could be bad.
 
A couple of reasons. Weight mostly to see if it sits better over the middle of truck vs. the back of the truck while off road. I also thought it might look better aesthetically but not sold on it. I figure I would try it out for function first. If it felt about the same but looked better I would move it forward. If it rides worse then just leave it.

I had mine over the roof thinking I would like the look of it but I eventually ended up disliking it. Felt like it looked like I had a parachute.

Hi haven’t been on in forever. Here’s a few photos of it collapsed. I didn’t mind it but I might move it over the back because the ladder gets in the way of the doors.

No it’s only on one rack but I have both racks so it extends over the other rack and it rubs occasionally.
