50 inch crossbars will fit on a 2014 Jeep Cherokee depending on your style of rail and towers. For instance, Rhino Rack uses the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 49" Long - Qty 2 # RRVA126B-2, and SX Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Raised Factory Side Rails - Qty 4 # RRSX100.
However other bars can be up to 53 or 58 inches long on the same vehicle, so I need a little more info to give you a confirmed fit for your particular bars.
My recommendation for your application if you have raised side rails is the Thule WingBar Evo Load Bars - Aluminum - 53" - Qty 2 # TH711420 and Thule Evo Roof Mounted Railing Foot Pack # TH710401 along with locks # TH450400.
If you have a naked roof, I recommend the Rhino-Rack RS 2500 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black # RRRS614B.
All of these options are rated for a capacity of 165 lbs total. You will need to calculate your kayak carrier weights and kayak weights to ensure you complete load is under that max capacity.
