Kayak Carrier Recommendation for Truck with Thule Crossbars on Cap
Question:
I want to know what options I have for mounting two 10ft kayaks 28W at widest point on my 04 F250SD crew cab short bed with Leer 100R cap. It has the Thule Tracker II system on top of the cap with 58inch wide bars. I think the two bars are about 5.5 feet apart. I will be towing a travel trailer behind the truck. I dont want any kind of a strap from the front of the kayaks to the front of the truck, but I dont mind a strap holding the back of the kayaks to the rear bumper or hitch. I dont want to spend a lot of money on this setup, since well only be using it a couple times per year.

For a Thule kayak carrier that can carry both of your kayaks easily and is compatible with your Thule crossbars the Thule Stacker part # TH830 would be a great choice. This would be the best economical choice I can make, but since it does require running a strap to the front of the vehicle you may also want to consider the Thule Hullaport part # TH834 which does not require the straps ran to the front of the vehicle.
I attached review videos for both racks for you to check out as well.
