The best roof rack for a cargo basket on your 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited is going to be the roof rack by Thule which includes the following parts:

Thule WingBar Edge Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - Qty 2 item # TH96FE

Edge Flush Rail Feet for Thule Edge Crossbars - Flush, Factory Side Rails - Qty 4 item # TH89SC

Fit Kit for Thule Evo Flush Rail and Edge Flush Rail Roof Rack Feet - 6120 item # TH68FE

This flush mounted roof rack is perfect for a cargo basket as the crossbars do not extend over the sides of the rails. The crossbars will sit right at 3-1/2" above the flush rails on your Jeep. This roof rack has a 165 lbs capacity.
