Best 2 Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2004 Ford Excursion with Factory Crossbars

Question

Question:

I have a 2004 Ford Excursion with the stock mounted roof rack. Which carrier is best fit for 2 10 ft kayaks? My stock roof mount cross bars sit flush with the top of the roof. Not much space for attaching a carrier. Thanks for your assistance.
