Question:

I have a 2019 Jeep Cherokee that has raised roof rails that I need to install a roof rack on so that I can carry my kayak. What would you recommend?

For your 2019 Jeep Cherokee with raised side rails the roof rack I recommend is the Rhino Rack roof rack that consists of part numbers # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX100. The reason I recommend this roof rack is because it's easy to install, the bars are aero shaped which means you'll have minimal wind noise, and you get a roof rack that overall a higher quality without the price tag of the other high quality roof racks. I asked a coworker of mine who went out recently and had to review all of the roof racks we offer and his favorite was the Rhino Rack for the reasons I mentioned. The picture I attached is this rack installed on a very similar 2016 Cherokee.

Then for a kayak carrier I recommend the Yakima JayLow part # Y04073. I like this carrier because it's padded, easy to install/load, can fold down when not in use, and if ever needed would allow to carry a second kayak.
