Roof Rack Recommendation for 2018 Toyota 4Runner for Use with Rhino Rack Universal Load Assist

Question:

Will this side loader work with the setup below? I am a shorter woman and need some type of load assist to avoid the fragile rear spoiler on 2018 4runner. 2 SUPS and 1-2 kayaks: 60inch Yakima Aero bars, Yakima Jaylow, Double Lockrack. I may stay with the Dakine pads I currently have for the SUPs. Would consider Rhino Rack Vortex. Dont know if Yakima or Rhino are better.

The Rhino Rack Load Assist part # RR-RUSL that you referenced fits basically all Rhino Rack crossbars and Thule crossbars but nothing from Yakima so to use this kit you'd want to go with the Rhino Rack roof rack you mentioned that consists of part numbers # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX100 for your 2018 Toyota 4Runner and you'd be set.
