If you have the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 450 lbs - Silver # TH500XT there is not a cantilever option. The bars on that system are 72" long x 3-1/2" wide x 1-1/2" tall, where the bars for the cantilever # TH24001XT and # TH24002XT fits bars that are 4 inch wide and 1-1/2 inches tall with supports that are not adjustable.
You can use the Replacement Load Stops for Thule Aeroblade Load Bars, Ladder Racks, or Thule TracRac CapRac - Qty 4 # 753-3761 to add additional supports to help balance at the rack but you would need to add a roof rack to get the cab support you are seeking. You can use the SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - Square Crossbars - Steel - 45-1/2" Long # SR1005 along with the Short-Roof Adapter # SR1116 if you desire that additional support.
