Helpful Expert Reply:
For your 2016 Subaru Crosstrek with raised side rails, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 46" Long - Qty 2 # RRVA118B-2 along with the SX series legs # RRSX100. I also recommend you secure your rack to your roof using the locking endcaps # RRVA-LEC4. This system is rated for 165 lbs. The rooftop tents (like you referenced) are load supported by the ladder to assist with the load capacity when you are using it. We have the Yakima SkiRise # Y07436 and # Y07437 to assist with a similar system and they both require a load rating of 165 lbs like this rack offers.
