Front Stabilizer

SKU: 040-039-00-04

Bar to increase the stability of the IBEX Truck Bed Rack, especially when carrying top-heavy loads in the full-height configuration. Designed to fit all IBEX models, it comes in two versions: one for the IBEXA2 (Jeep Gladiator) and one for all other IBEX SKUs.

Note: The Front Stabilizer should be used with Crossbar Risers and is also an alternative to the Front Molle Panel. If you're using Crossbar Risers, you'll need either the Front Stabilizer or the Front Molle Panel installed — but not both.

Note: Not compatible with the mid-height configuration.

IBEX Front Stabilizer

What does the Front Stabilizer do?

It adds stability to your IBEX Truck Bed Rack, particularly when you’re running top-heavy loads. It also eliminates the need for the Front Molle Panel if you’re using Crossbar Risers.

Do I need this if I already have the Front Molle Panel?

No — if you already have the Front Molle installed, your setup is good as-is. The Front Stabilizer is simply an alternative to the Front Molle, not an upgrade. It’s a matter of preference. Just keep in mind only one can be installed at a time.

Can I use the Front Stabilizer and the Front Molle Panel together?

No — it’s one or the other. They serve the same function, so only one should be installed at a time.

Do I need one if I'm not using Crossbar Risers?

If you're not running Crossbar Risers and your load is on the lighter side, your setup may be fine as-is. That said, we recommend the Front Stabilizer for any build carrying over 150 lbs on top of the rack. If you're unsure whether your setup needs one, reach out — we're happy to help you figure it out.
