Default looking for a cage

I've looked around, but I can't find any vendors that make a premade rool cage for my truck (RCSB). Does any one know of one? Competition Engineering has some for like $300.00 but none fit my truck. All I want is an NHRA approved bar for now.

basically the same set-up I'm looking for, but a 6 point. I need the two extra bars that have to go throught the rear window. (cringe)

Does it HAVE to come through the window to be legal? Or can it come out a few inches lower where it could be covered with a bed cover?

according to my rulebook it says the rear braces can be no lower than 5 inches below the top hoop. in a RCSB, I'm screwed.

Lexan windows... you can do whatever you need to and run some weather stripping around the tubes to seal it back up...

yeah, that's what I plan on doing. I just really wanted to hide it below the bed. I think for now though, I may just run the main hoop, crossbar, side bars for the fron, and then run the rears lower than the window. If I get calle on it, I'll add the right ones for the rear later. Either way, I still need to find someone who make one for our trucks
