I think he's talking about the horizontal part of the rack. The adjustable part that spans between the two fixed, bolted down rails. Ours doesn't have them iether, bought it used. For removing the rails, don't know. There may be factory plugs available but I haven't looked into it.
Run the tires as hard as you can reasonably stand for the roads in your area. If it gets way too harsh it's better to save your kidneys as well as your suspension. By the way have you replaced your rear shocks yet? Ours are about dead after only 75K miles.
