Description
Product Overview
The iFJF Load Stops are a 4-pack of T-slot mounted cargo anchors designed to keep your gear from sliding on truck bed cross bars. Whether you're hauling ladders to the job site, firewood for the campsite, skis to the mountain, or a kayak to the lake — these adjustable stops create a secure barrier that prevents lateral shifting during transport. Compatible with virtually all T-slot cross bar systems found on ladder racks, contractor racks, and overland bed racks.
Key Features
-
4-Pack Coverage: Two stops per cross bar provides front and rear cargo containment. Enough for a two-bar rack setup out of the box.
-
Universal T-Slot Fit: Slides into standard T-slot channels on most truck racks (Thule, Yakima, Rhino-Rack, Hauler, and generic contractor racks) — no brand-specific mounting required.
-
Tool-Free Adjustment: Hand-tighten the T-bolt knob to lock stops in position. Loosen to reposition in seconds — no tools needed on the road.
-
Heavy-Duty Construction: Molded from impact-resistant reinforced nylon composite with stainless steel T-bolts. Won't rust, crack, or deform under heavy cargo loads.
-
Protective Contact Pads: Wide, flat face spreads load pressure and prevents damage to delicate cargo (kayak hulls, painted ladders, finished lumber).

Common Uses
-
Ladder Securing: Prevent extension ladders from sliding forward during sudden stops.
-
Lumber / Pipe Hauling: Keep long material bundles centered on the rack.
-
Kayak / Canoe Transport: Pair with cam straps for rock-solid kayak mounting.
-
Ski & Snowboard Racks: Create side barriers to keep skis from sliding off the ends.
-
Firewood / Camp Gear: Build a cargo corral on your rack for loose camp items.
Installation
Slide the T-bolt into the T-slot channel from either end. Position the load stop where needed — typically 2-4 inches from the edge of your cargo. Hand-tighten the knob firmly. Test by pushing against the stop with moderate force. For heavy loads, pair with ratchet straps or cam straps for redundant security.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will these fit my truck's factory cross bars?
A: Only if your factory bars have a T-slot channel. Many factory bars are aerodynamic shapes without T-slots. Aftermarket ladder racks and overland racks almost always have T-slots.
Q: What's the max load these can hold back?
A: Load stops are positioning aids — they prevent shifting, not full tie-down. Never exceed your rack's weight rating. Use proper straps as primary tie-downs; use these as secondary cargo keepers.
Q: Do they work on vertical T-slots (bed rack sides)?
A: Yes — the T-bolts work in vertical or horizontal T-slot channels. Useful for creating side-to-side barriers on truck bed racks with side rails.
Q: Can they be used on roof racks?
A: Only if the roof rack cross bars have accessible T-slot channels. Most aerodynamic roof bars (Thule WingBar Evo, Yakima JetStream) have top-facing T-tracks compatible with these stops.
Q: Will the nylon crack in cold weather?
A: The reinforced nylon composite is rated for -20°F to +180°F. It remains impact-resistant even in extreme cold.
