I have a 2007 dodge nitro- these rails don't look like they will work sincethere is no space under the side rails already on the vehicle.?

They work fine, I have them on a 2007. They come with a metal track that they install on, but my Nitro already had the bottom tracks from the factory

I have a 2007 dodge nitro as well, and these cross bars have a screw and bolts onto the existing side rails. I've installed my almost a year ago and haven't even needed to tighten them. They're adjustable as well and a good price compared to mopar ones. Hope this helps

We have a 07 nitro and they work great. Not sure what the current price is but I believe I paid 180 including shipping. Great deal

I purchased them for my 2008. They fit exactly like OEM parts, ans actually were good quality.

I bought these for my son, who drives a 2008 Nitro. it appeared that way to me also, but he was confident that they were suitable. He is a scientist with handyman tendencies and he installed them himself in the driveway. They have been utilized many times since without a problem.

My wife has a 2007 dodge nitro and these worked great. We have had them on for over a year, made a trip with load on top and have never had an issue.

I didn't have an open space on my 2010 Dodge Nitro and purchased these and they did work perfectly for me. I actually installed them myself and Have used them all last summer to haul my kayaks- I also bought the J mounts from another company.

It's a little bit of wrenching and prying on the factory parts on top of the nitro. All the parts fit nicely on there as long as you follow the instructions. Once on they will sit above the factory side rails, Hope this helps.

I have a JK Rubicon with these on front and rear with no issues. You can contact ARB via e-mail and they will answer any questions you have. With the TJ it may be a clearance issue with the track bar.

I'm trying to follow what you are explaining. I believe your problem is that you need to install the clamps for the cross bars on the roof rails before you put the crossbars in them. The instructions should explain everything. If you need any further assistance, feel free to email me back and I can try to get a more detailed explanation for you. Thank you,RichieMastria Mazda Parts Team

I can't say for sure as I installed these on my 2007 Mercury Mountaineer. I can tell you that the inside dimension between the factory rails is 36 - 7/8" on the Mountaineer. Hope this helps.

These 6x9s are pretty big. I have a 1997 dodge and I had to cut the metal to fit em in there because of how big they are. Might just be an age thing though but you will most likely have to do some cutting.

You need a lot of room under the hood. I have a 2013 ram pick up. I had to put them under the radiator behind the bumper

I'm not sure. I just looked at our car, and the front bar seems a little wider than the rear. Do you have the installation instructions? If not, you might be able to find them online.

I was not able to use my wood side rails. You will have to use the rails provided . I just used a dust ruffle and you couldn't see the rails :)

No, this item only fits the Nitro up to the year 2010. Thank youImani103 - Our page clearly states the following: DESIGNED FOR THE 2007 2008 AND 2009 DARK SLATE GRAY TRIM DODGE NITRO!We never said it fits the 2011.

I have a 2008 Dodge Nitro and the kit worked well for me. I agree with everything Darren Gale said. I disagree with Martin Czinder, the cross bars seem to be just the right size.

You need to check what the gap is for your vehicle. When I receive these they were not correctly gapped.

Yes, the rails are just short of the fender liners once installed. You will still have adequate space for the splash guards.

No, They are too short those are for the 2011 &new; Dodge trucks...I had to return those & order the correct ones

I have a 2011 also. It comes with the rails that run front to rear but didn't come with the cross bars. The rails that run front to back just look like black trim until you get up and look on top of the vehicle. You'll notice there are four bolts on each side holding them on the roof. Hard to see unless your above it. These work great. I am really happy with the look and quality of these cross bars on my 2011 nitro.

I just took mine off for the winter. I would have gone out an measured it for you. So I am not sure. I think that the 1 3/4 inch clearance is from the roof to the bottom of the rail. On my 2005 Durango it is pretty tight getting a wrench in to tighten the bolts to keep it in place. So if your side rails are any squattier than the side rails on the Durango it might be hard to get it on.

This item is pretty specific as to its length and where it will fit. It does have a spring loaded cap on the end so it fits into its location pretty snug. I have a 2009 Nitro and I am assuming that Dodge did not change the interior dimensions of the cargo area in those two years, so I would say there is a strong likelihood that this will fit your 2011 Nitro.
