FYI to all: I am #35 on list, just got my code, called and left message, awaiting call back.
called back, placed order, got a no rise option (they are charging more for that FYI), now I am heading home to wait by the mailbox. Thanks [MENTION=119516]jicko[/MENTION] for arranging this!

How much are they charging for the no rise option. I may have to call in and amend my order.

I'm interested. PM sent.

Also, what is the no rise option? I couldn't find anything on the Gobi site.

Ok got it. So it's only if you have a spoiler. I don't have one so it doesn't apply to me correct?
The no rise option has nothing to do with the spoiler, the no rise is just a way to reduce height of the rack by 1.5", if you have a lift and a rack and need to get in 7' garages etc it may be worth the money to drop the rack a bit....

that's not how its presented on the receipt or when I called to place order:

TOYOTA 4Runner Ladder 4th Gen. With Spoiler No Riser (DriverSide)

I wasn't offered the no rise 'shorter' rack option.


[MENTION=51456]pipo6007[/MENTION] correct, when you order they'll ask you what kind of spoiler you have or don't have

That's what I originally thought but got confused when the pic was posted about the spoiler. I also did not see anything about the no rise option on the Gobi website. It only asks if you have a spoiler with a rise or no rise. So I guess you have to call in order to make the no rise request?
 
It refers to the "surprised eyebrow" bar to make room for lights.

Rise:

No-rise:

These are also not the '40" lightbar ready' variations and so they have the two vertical bars in the front.

It's kinda like the Double double animal style at In-n-out, it's not on the menu but some people know about it's existence. Damn, now I'm hungry.


Just to be clear for everyone reading this going forward:
No rise on the ladder is different than a stealth rack with the no rise option.
 
now i am all sorts of confused. seems like there are 3 options for rise/no rise.

ladder rise/no rise
height rise/no rise
surprised eye brow rise/no rise

im going to have to call back and discuss to make sure mine is correct.
 
clarification:

by default the stealth rack will look like the first pic in [MENTION=138432]Liquidmantis[/MENTION] posts. it WILL have the riser or 'surprised eyebrow' look. if you do not want this option and you want it the same height/flat all around its $150 extra and considered custom

also, the rise/no rise option refers to the type of spoiler you have. spoilers with the hump will need the riser. if you do not have a hump, get no riser.
 
Is that just for looks or is there some functionality for the no rise option?

Good question. I plan on putting a light bar on the front of the Gobi Rack but in that link, another member was able to mount a light bar on a no rise Gobi Rack. There were complaints on wind noise and drag with a light bar mounted on a standard Gobi stealth rack but the higher mount would offer better visibility and less glare off the hood when mounted lower.
