Compatibility:

10.Can I install the ladder without an Orion Roof Rack?
While it is designed to work with the Orion Stealth+ Roof Rack, it may be compatible with other roof racks that are flat on the sides and have similar dimensions. We recommend verifying measurements before installing on non-Orion racks.
11.Is the ladder compatible with full-length running boards?
The ladder is not guaranteed to work with full-length running boards. Compatibility varies by brand, and in many cases the running board blocks the lower mounting bracket. If you want to keep full-length boards, you may need custom fabrication, such as shortening the ladder, modifying the bracket, or attaching it directly to your running board. Most Transit owners who run side ladders use half-length or three-quarter-length running boards, which leave the pinch seam open for mounting. If you are considering new running boards, we recommend those shorter styles for the best fit.
