In order for the Yakima SweetRoll Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - Saddle Style - Rear Loading Item # Y04074 to fit, the crossbars you are securing them to must be no wider than 3-1/2" and no taller than 1-11/16". The Thule TracRac # TH27000XT rails are 4" wide and 1-1/2" tall so they will not fit the SweetRoll.
Instead I recommend grabbing (4) of the Malone Foam Kayak Block for Truck Racks - 14" Long Item # MPG159. These will slide right over your bars, giving it a great mix of simplicity and functionality! You will need tie downs like the Malone Bow and Stern Tie-Down Kit Item # MPG306 to get your kayaks tied down properly.
If you like the idea of a 'saddle' type carrier, I liked using the Malone SaddleUp Pro Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs for Truck Racks - Saddle Style - Channel Mount Item # MPG1001 because it gives a great fit to your kayak and it can be installed via T-Slot on your ladder rack. Check out the video I've included to show you what it looks like and how it works!
