You can pick whichever fork mount you like and I'll tell you what I can do.

I need to go figure out if my rack will work in a hurry, so I can get this setup if I need it.

I'll place an order with ya! I have a 2014 Specialized StumpJumper FSR Elite 29er with a fox float 29 fork, will the fork mount you use work for that fork?

They should work with everything other than fat bikes and 15mm thru axles. If you have either of those a different mount can be used.

I've had several orders in the last 24 hours that will all be headed for the powder coater very soon. If you're contemplating putting in an order this week now is the time so your order can join the others waiting to get a finish.

You can get an adapter that will work for thru axles.

Couple things I just thought of.

My racks have skewers built into the mounts. It looks like yours require you to use the bike's skewer, right? Not a big deal, but one of my bikes has a 15mm thru axle. I have an adapter for it, but I'd have to supply a second skewer.

I might just buy a set of cheap skewers and leave them in the racks. Saves the trouble of pulling the skewers out of the wheels.

Is the distance between the boxlink mounts the same for both the 5 1/2' and 6 1/2' beds? I have a 6 1/2' bed.

I had skewers in my rack that I left there and the problem
I ran into was rust. Between car washes and rain the extra skewers I bought were rusted in no time. So now I either use the skewer on the bike or for my fatbike I have an extra skewer but I put it in my seatback pocket instead of leaving it out to rust.
