Rack dilemma

[Tejas]

I'd like an aftermarket rack for my 2015. After having a Gobi on my FJC I thought for sure that I'd like the same for the 4Runner based off of looks alone.
That being said, how many of you run the Gobi Stealth with a RTT? I ask because I remember mine not being flat and the raised sides seems to me like it would present an issue with a RTT. My plans are an awning, RTT, and the occasional camping gear. This will be my first RTT so I just want to make sure that I am doing this right before I jump in head first.

While the Baja Rack and FrontRunner style flat racks don't look as aesthetically pleasing to my eye they are a lot cheaper and present a better platform for a RTT and your standard load. Are there others I should be considering, is the Gobi doable with a RTT and is cost justified? Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Recommend you also look at the Eezi Awn K9 rack as well.

Running a RTT on my Stealth with no problems. I know there are a couple people running a RTT on the Stealth with an awning with no problems.

My tent sits flat, minus my rear springs sagging a lot (which if I keep my truck I will be replacing).

I gotta second (or I guess third) this. I have a K9 rack and they are SO easy to mount stuff to. I have already made a spare tire mount and adapters to use my Thule Snowboard racks. And the eye nuts you can get from K9 or FrontRunner make tying gear down really easy and customizable.

What about ARB, they have one for a roof top tent
ARB Steel Roof Rack with Touring Basket 70.5 X 47.25 Inch (3813200)

I have the aluminum version and I love it, very well built. I didn't get the RTT rack as I don't plan on getting one
