At Upfit Supply, we’re all about helping you turn your RAM ProMaster into a fully capable, work-ready machine. One of the most versatile and durable additions to any commercial van is a roof rack—and today, we’re taking a deep dive into one of our favorite systems to unbox and install: the Vantech H2.1 Roof Rack for RAM ProMaster.

This modular roof rack system is designed to handle serious hauling while offering sleek styling, unmatched adjustability, and rock-solid construction. In this post, we’ll walk through the entire unboxing experience of the Vantech H2.1 Roof Rack for RAM ProMaster, from packaging to parts, and what makes this system a go-to choice for tradespeople, vanlifers, and fleet owners alike.

What’s Inside the Box | Unboxing Vantech H2.1 Roof Rack for RAM ProMaster

This kit ships in three separate boxes, each packed with sub-packaged bundles that keep parts secure during transit. Vantech’s packaging deserves praise—it’s one of the most thoughtfully packed systems we’ve encountered.

Everything arrived damage-free, neatly wrapped in foam, and secured within layers of protective material. If you’ve ever received bent metal parts or missing hardware from other brands, you’ll immediately appreciate Vantech’s approach.

Main Components Overview

As we unboxed the Vantech H2.1 Roof Rack for RAM ProMaster, we laid out each part and took note of the system’s modular layout. Here’s what we found:

  • 10 extruded aluminum crossbars
  • 6 modular side rails (3 per side)
  • Mounting channels and brackets
  • Hardware bag with labeled fasteners and tools
  • Bar guards and mounting feet
  • Front “D” wind deflector and rear “B” roller bar assembly

Let’s break it down further.

Crossbars and Side Rails: Lightweight but Strong

The extruded aluminum crossbars feature built-in mounting channels and pre-threaded bolt points. These channels allow for:

  • Adjustable placement of crossbars
  • Easy installation of accessories like solar panels or cargo stops
  • Modular configuration around vents or roof hatches

Each crossbar measures 65 inches wide, designed specifically for the RAM ProMaster’s roof width. With 10 total crossbars, this rack offers maximum load distribution.

The side rails connect together using internal splice brackets. These steel joiners fit tightly and secure with bolts, giving you a sturdy, seamless side structure across the van’s entire length.

End Configurations: “D” for the Front, “B” for the Back

This kit uses the DB configuration—a combination of Vantech’s D-style front mount and B-style rear mount.

  • The “D” front mount features a built-in wind fairing. It angles upward slightly, acting like a deflector that minimizes wind noise and improves aerodynamics.
  • The “B” rear mount includes a roller bar, ideal for loading ladders or long items from the back of your van. Just lean and roll—no need to lift over sharp edges.

You can mix and match configurations (AA, DD, DB, etc.) to suit your build. For RAM ProMaster users carrying tools, pipes, or bulky materials, this combo is both practical and professional.

Hardware and Install Kit

Once we opened the hardware box, we were greeted with:

  • Heavy-duty steel brackets
  • Slider bolts for channel integration
  • Self-threading screws for securing elements
  • Mounting feet designed for ProMaster roof grooves
  • Protective bar guards for each crossbar

What really stood out is Vantech’s use of channel-based adjustability. Every major element slides into place using integrated tracks. That means you can dial in the perfect fit—even if your roof layout includes fans or vents.

Also, included bar guards protect the top of your crossbars. These not only preserve the look and finish of the rack, but also protect your cargo.

Packaging & Protection: Top Marks

This roof rack system arrives exceptionally well-protected. Vantech goes beyond standard cardboard boxes by:

  • Wrapping each component in foam or protective wrap
  • Bundling small parts inside their own shredded cardboard pouches
  • Securing everything tightly to prevent movement during transit

It’s clear that Vantech understands how important it is to receive all components intact—especially for commercial vehicle upfits where delays aren’t an option.

Installation Preview

We’ll be posting a full installation video soon, but based on what we’ve seen, this rack should be a straightforward install for anyone with basic tools.

A few installation highlights:

  • Side rails attach with internal splice joints
  • Crossbars bolt into pre-threaded holes
  • Mounting channels align with the van’s factory roof ribs
  • Feet connect to slider bolts inside the underside channels

You might want a second set of hands during the final lift onto the roof. Otherwise, everything in this kit feels engineered for ease of use.
