They out lasted my first rack, and now i'm re-using them on my new roof rack.
First rack 12 foot long, new rack 10 1/2 foot long....same van E350EB, used 4 per side
Smittybilt make two type s of mounts S/BHDS which the S stands for short and is 3-5 inches (the link your showing) or you can get S/BHD which is a 6 inch mount.
4 on each side should be sufficient. I used 5 on each side and the S/BHD 6" mounts. The short mounts seem leave too little space between the roof and the rack.
Aside from the weight, for less then $1000 it's a well made roof rack and brackets with enough cross bars to support a floor. (https://www.farmtek.com/farm/supplie...;pgha2215.html.

Thanks for input, ordered an 8 pack of the 6" with ebay's 15% off code today.
Setting up shovel mount and a spare mount while it's on the ground before it gets clamped to the van.
Where was this thread at Wednesday. I paid $75 for contractors crossbars to mount my ARB awning. These mounts would have been perfect! I scoured the internet for 3 days too. haha oh well. Cheers!
