What's the main difference between the Yakima Low-Rise Spacer Kit and the Hi-Rise kit?

The main difference is the height they add. The Low-Rise spacer kit positions the bottom of your crossbars 2.25 inches above the roof's center, while the Hi-Rise kit positions them 4 inches up. Our Low-Rise option is perfect if you found the Hi-Rise kit a bit too tall for your needs.

Will this Yakima Low Rise Spacer Kit work with my specific Vanagon model?

Yes, this Yakima Low Rise Spacer Kit is designed to work with a wide range of Vanagon and Eurovan models from 1980 all the way up to 2003, including 2WD and 4WD variants, and various configurations like Westfalia Campers, Campmobiles, and Passenger vans. It's compatible with both automatic and manual transmissions.

What exactly comes in a pair of the Low-Rise spacer kit?

A pair of the Yakima Low-Rise Spacer Kit includes two individual spacers. These are custom-designed to work specifically with Yakima 1A towers, offering a lower profile solution for your roof rack setup.

How does this spacer kit affect my Yakima rack system's overall clearance?

This Low-Rise spacer kit provides a more compact setup by placing your crossbars at 2.25 inches above the roof's center. This is a great choice if you're looking to minimize the added height compared to the standard Hi-Rise kit, while still maintaining good clearance for carrying gear.
