J-Style Kayak Carrier Recommendation for Thule Xsporter Pro Rack on 2022 Ram 1500
Question:
Looking to add J frame kayak holders to Thule xsporter truck rack. This set up seems the most secure for long drives. Any suggestions on best options and parts that are needed. I have a 2022 Ram Rebel Crew Cab with 57 inch bed.

Since you're wanting to install a J-Style carrier on the Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XTB full-sized crossbars we need to check out the Kuat kayak carriers as they will be wide enough to fit the larger crossbars on your 2022 Ram 1500.
For a standard J-Style carrier we have the Class 2 # C2R1B but if you want to upgrade to something a little nicer and that folds down we have the Class 4 which comes in Black # KU53VR or Gray # KU33VR.
I prefer the Class 4 because they look nicer and have an easier-to-use mounting setup plus they will be easier to store since they can fold down.
