Do the side-rails lift up for storage?

No they don't. I've had it for more than a year under constant work and it looks as good as the day I bought it.

The rails up and down height and side to side are not adjustable. The ends of each rail can be pulled out for additional hanging room. Have had these rails for about seven years and have lots of heavy coats and seasonal clothing hanging on them. They work just great for me. Very sturdy. Hope this helps. Izzy

They do not. However these racks aren't flimsy. Heavy duty. When loaded they don't go anywhere unless moved in which case they move very smooth.

Yes, they can rest in either position. Stowed on top of the side rails or swung across and locked for securing loads. When shipped, one rail is already mounted on the side rail and one is detached. This is strictly for ease of mounting. One of the attachment bolts is under the swing end of the detached arm, so you would have to take it apart if it was attached.

No. The shelves are attached to the sides. The sides fold and have attachments for the shelves to rest into.

do you need raised side rails to install these? My 2014 jeep grand Cherokee has flush rails.

No it does not. You would have to remove the legs (which is t the hard) and store it that way.

Yes! The three shelves which come with the unit are totally separate entities and may be placed anywhere there are side rails.

When we put ours up, there were connectors for the rails. They didn't really go together that well and I am not sure that I would buy that product again. The sliders get hung up on the joints between pieces.

No, the feet are attached to the sides of the rack. Once it's assembled, it's all one piece, which makes storage problematic. I haven't found a good solution, unfortunately.

Yes all of the weight is held by the screws on the front bracket. There are holes on the case if you want to add rails but no additional mounting hardware is provided.

Yes I have seen them. However, it may be difficult to collapse the top or use the boot to store once installed.

No storage, but you could hide stuff under it since it is essentially a box.. Have to lift it to get access

No. Each side of the unit is a single piece and the horizontal shelf supports are welded to the uprights.

Yes. Hard part is taking it apart to put the rails in. But not that hard. Fantastic product!

NO. These towers attach ONLY to existing raised side rails. PLEASE use the Fit Guide on Yakima's website for specific fit questions. Thanks!

Not a lot. The bottom of the side rails sits just 3.5 inches above the floor. If you wanted to lift your mattress and store stuff between the rails, the mattress sits 6 inches above the floor.
