You will need the crossbars, towers/feet, and a fit kit for the tracks on your A.R.E. topper. This rack will consist of the following items:

Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 60" Long - Qty 2, part # TH711520
Rapid Podium Feet for Thule Crossbars - Fixed Point - Qty 4, part # TH460R
Fit Kit for Thule Podium-Style Roof Rack Feet - 3101, part # THKIT3101
Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 4, part # TH450400

The weight limit of the crossbars are 220 lbs. Even if your topper can support more weight than 220 lbs, you will be limited by the lowest maximum weight in the system. In this case it is the crossbars.
