Expert Reply:
The Rola Roof Mounted Cargo Basket, part # 59504 may be a good fit for your 1999 GMC Suburban. It measures 52 inches long x 40-1/2 inches wide x 6 inches deep, and has a weight capacity of 130 lbs. The maximum crossbar dimension that this basket can fit is 1-1/4 inch tall X 3-1/4 inches wide.
You should be able to use two of the extensions, part # 59505 with your four crossbars. Each of the extensions adds an additional 18-3/4 inches to the basket. When adding extensions to the roof basket it is recommended to use a sealant like part # LT37467 when assembling.
When adding the extensions to your roof basket it is a good idea to add additional mounting brackets like part # 59506.
The prices for the items on our website are listed on the product page.
You will want to check your owners manual or with a dealership to make sure you do not exceed the roof weight capacity of your Suburban.
If you need to secure your roof basket I recommend the Rola Flat Strap Cargo Net, part # 59200. This measures 36 X 48 inches and has large hooks that help keep the cargo secure in the basket.
Reaching the items in the roof basket can be difficult so I recommend a tire step like part # HE4040. This easily slips over your wheel on your Suburban and gives you a little easier access to the center of your basket when loaded. This tire step has a 400 lb weight capacity and fold flat for easy storage when not in use.
