TracRac Ladder Rack Kayak Carrier Recommendation

Question

Question:

Will the brackets and bolts allow for installation on the TracRac TracONE Truck rack? Almost would seem that the bolts would not be long enough to use with the thumb fasteners. Please let me know when you can, and thank you for your time.

TracRac ladder racks have very thick crossbars compared to standard roof rack crossbars.

The only style of kayak carrier we offer that fits that bar shape is the Malone Foam Kayak Carrier # MPG159 which would would be a great option for you.

For a tie down kit then we have the part # MPG306.
