OK, I just checked and there are TWO styles of the rack
Old Style: Did have some flex and 4" brackets with the factory crossbars are needed for proper installation.
New Style: Has an extra welded in crossmember that keeps the rack from flexing. There were other smaller changes to this rack style as well. All the new styles (Stealth or Full Size) has the extra rigid cross members and will not allow the rack to felx like the old style. you can even fit a 38" tire in the new ones.
So you will have to put a spacer in there or put the 4" brackets back on.
