Roof Rack Recommendation for 2017 Toyota RAV4 for Carrying Thule Evolution Cargo Box  

I recently purchased a 2017 Toyota RAV4. I have a 10-year old Thule Evolution cargo box, with the Uinch bolts ed underneath the bars into the box, previously on our van that Id like to use on the RAV4. Thules site recommends the 45050 Crossroads kit or the 7502 Aeroblade Edge. One of the things I noticed is that the existing RAV4 roof rails seem to be slightly lower in the back than in the front and would cause the crossbar to sit at a slight angle which would result in the cargo box also being higher in the front, which I would think would greatly increase wind drag, and the U-bolt to not fit flat against the bar. Is this accounted for on these rail kits or is there some kind of spacer to even things out? I think the Aeroblade would look better if the U-bolts are wide enough to fit around it. However, I cant justify over $500 for those including the lock cores. Any help you might be able to provide is greatly appreciated.
