How Much Height Does Thule ProRide Bike Rack Add to Crossbars of Vehicle

Question:

We have an infinity QX80 which has a very high roof line. Even without bike racks it can be challenging to pull into some parking garages. I am trying to find a bike racks that when folded down, has the lowest profile when installed on the factory rails. Can you tell me the installed height of the Thule ProRide 598... how tall is it from the top of the vehicles crossbar rails to the highest point on the racks? Thanks in advance! This is a follow up question to a question I asked a while back: Height Profile of the Yakima HighRoller Roof Bike Rack and the Thule Sidearm Above Crossbar .

I spoke with my contact at Thule and she informed me that the Thule ProRide part # TH598004 that you referenced adds 5 inches to the top of a crossbar.
