Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2018 Ram 2500 with a Bare Roof
Question:
I am looking for the Yakima Baseline rack for my 2018 RAM 2500 Crew Cab Long Bed truck. It has a bare roof. I want the towers, locks, and 78 in bars that will work with the Thule Hullavator. The quietest bars are preferable. Can you set me up?

Expert Reply:
Of course using the Yakima HD Crossbars part # Y01159 will give you the bars you're looking for then we can get the rest put together. This will be the towers, HD Bar Adapter and the Baseclips listed.
BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars part # Y28TR
HD Bar SL Adapter part # Y03541
BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers part # Y06135
For locks use the Yakims SKS Lock Cores part # Y07204.
With this setup you will be able to use the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs part # TH898 by installing directly into the T-slot this will eliminate some of the noise associated with roof racks.
