I share that concern, but am not qualified to opine - that's why I was hoping there would be a big manufacturer solution. Also, my kayaks have rocker (curve), so three points of contact (three crossbars) is actually worse than two. Really, I just need a single cab-height bar and a single roof...

I couldn't agree with this more. There are many, many good rack solutions out there and on a truck, I don't want to be taking them on and off. I would like a solid cab-height rack for kayaks, lumber - like the Xsporter or Overhaul/Outpost. Proprietary systems are only great if they work for...
