The Rhino-Rack Universal Load Assist # RR-RUSL comes with several brackets that work with numerous brands of aftermarket crossbars but none specific to OEM crossbars. I am confident that at least one set of the included brackets could be modified to work but there isn't one that is a for sure, custom fit for the factory bars on your 2015 Toyota Highlander XLE. It would work fine with the J-Style kayak carrier though so no worries with that part!
