Recommended Roof Rack And Ladder Mount For 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer
Question:
Hi, I am looking for a way to add a ladder rack to my 2007 trailblazer. It already has rack bars on it. I was wondering if you had something that would turn those into a ladder rack, or something that would fit to replace them. Thank you

It sounds like your 2007 Chevy Trailblazer has the factory raised rails running front to back on your roof, your best option is to add Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - 46" Long - Qty 2 # RRVA118B-2. You will also need Mount Legs # RRRLT600 and Leg Spacers # RRQMVA05 to install the roof rack. If you already have crossbars running left to right across your roof then you don't need to add this crossbar kit.
This crossbar setup is a low-profile aerodynamic design that will reduce noise and vibration compared to other systems. There are built-in channels on top of the roof rack that allows track-mounted accessories to be installed. If you are planning on hauling ladders on top then you would want to add Load Stops 4" Tall - Qty 2 # S602 for a budget-friendly option. I recommend using SmartStraps Bungee Cord Adjustable - 28" to 48" # 348509 to secure the ladder if going with the Load Stops # S602.
I attached demonstration videos for you to check out.
