Roof Rack and Canoe Carrier Recommendation for a 2008 Chevy Silverado
Question:
Is this rack RRRLKHD suitable for carrying a 15 foot aluminum canoe? Will it take a lot of abuse? What is the height of the front crossbar RB1375B from roof to the top of the bar when mounted using DK227 clamps? I am only going to use the rack for carrying a canoe. What would be the best crossbar for that. Are all crossbars going to be the same height to the top of the bar? Is there some kind of standard nuts that fit into the C channel of the heavy duty crossbar that can be used to attach items? Is there any access to the channel from the bottom or is it a closed C channel?

Expert Reply:
A Rhino Rack Roof Rack that includes the part # RRRLKHD would do an excellent job for carrying a 15 foot canoe on your 2008 Chevy Silverado. The rest of the parts needed to complete the roof rack would be the part # RB1375B-2 and # DK227.
This is one of the strongest racks we offer so it would definitely take a lot of abuse. It would be great for carrying your canoe. For securing a canoe upside down on the crossbars I would recommend the Ratchet Grab part # RRRRG. I spoke to my contact at Rhino Rack and this was what he recommended. This will slide into the C-channel and secure to the bars. He also said that this roof rack would add about 6 inches to the roof of your vehicle.
