Sports bar

[Omallyyy]

The 2016 all terrain x comes with a sport bar that goes from the top of the bed to the top of the cab.

 

Is anyone aware of this sports bar being available for 2015 Sierra's? Or will the 2016 sports bar fit a 2015 Sierra?

 

Any help is appreciated, thanks guys.

Should fit, I believe the bed is exactly the same size.

Fit should be fine.  There is some earlier discussion on this forum about sports bars. My dealer had one fore sale and I was considering it for my '15 Sierra.  I recall finding the tips and advice here informative.   I chose not to go this route and bought a canopy instead!

Yes it is available as a standard accessory from GM.  The listing says 2016-2018 but it will fit 2014-2015 as well (the beds are the same and many posters on here have already installed them).  You can also get a factory LED light kit that mounts to it and comes with a replacement switch for your dash:

Thanks guys. Perhaps someone would know; would this sports rack be able to fit with an Encore Tonneau cover?

Ahh nevermind, no chance they'll fit with it. Thanks anyways.

It took me a while to find one that would fit. There is a thread about it somewhere. If you’re willing to part with yours and get another.
I have the truxedo LoProQT. Had to cut a little of the foam to fit around the bracket so I have a little water leak when it’s pouring. I also know that others left it and did not cut.

The sport bar will fit fine, the light package linked above might not work with your year.  I believe the kit requires a BCM update, which may not be available for 2015's because the ATX wasn't available then.

 

Looks like you found out your tonneau cover won't fit, but this one will:

I have that on my 2018 ATX (standard bed though) and it fits fine.  Gets a little tight when rolling past the bars, but can roll all the way up.

I’m looking at putting the Sports Bar on mine, can I put a magnet mount CB Antenna on it?

 

 If I go with a NMO, how well is the plate on top grounded to the truck?

Ok, more questions.

 

Is there enough room to snake an antenna cable and power cables/wires down through the stake hole, as well as the mount for the Sports Bar?

To my knowledge, electrically, I would think the bar is a poor ground. Its all painted and it just clamps onto the underside of the bed rail. I would be really surprised if you could get a solid ground on that bar.
There is plenty of room in the bar for wires. I fit more than the existing harness through there. You should have plenty of room.
All metal and magnet would work fine
