Expert Reply:
Yes, the 59" Rhino-Rack Euro Bar Crossbars RREB150B (discontinued) will produce more wind noise than the 59" Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA150B-2. This is due to the aerodynamic design of the Vortex crossbars which have less wind noise and drag. I recommend going with the Vortex system because it performs and looks better than the square Euro Bar crossbars. Here are the parts you need for your 2017 Ram 1500:
59" Vortex Crossbars - # RRVA150B-2
2500 Series Legs - # RRRLKVA
Fit Kit - # DK043
