Would these be able to handle a kayak with a kayak carrier added to them? I want to install them on 2006 Liberty Limited

I dont know, I just lay my kayak directly on the bars and tie them down and it works great

Mike, not sure about the carrier. We transported two kayaks w/no issue. Not knowing what carrier you have I can't advise. Thanks

You should, I did without problem. I also added two kayak mounts. You have to make the nuts very tight - I don't think this makes a difference between products as the vibration over time tent to loosen any temporary connection.

If your kayak has the standard adjustable rails found in most boats, then they should slide right in. Worked in my wifes Dagger 12' fine. One side was broken so just replaced both with new.

If you have standard factory cross bars you should not have ny problem. We love our racks and are currently using them to transport our kayaks all over Canada on our 4 Runner

My wife put 2 picnic table kits from Home Depot in a safari basket mounted on top of these. I think they should support your kayak!

Two of the mounts will fit, but that's not the issue. It's about the combined width of two kayaks that sit on top of them vs the width of the roof rack.There are other systems specifically designed to mount two kayaks that may be a better way to go about it.

I was using these with my 65 pound kayak but it is a much narrower boat and couldn't mate up with the hull very well, so it might work good for yours. They flex a lot but seem to handle the weight fine.

I have a oversized kayak and it holds up to 500 lbs and the rack manages it quite well, so I do not see any reasons why it would not.

I don't see why it wouldn't. They're rated for 6500 pounds each. But as Buzz Cut said, I'd make sure the rig was stable by at least keeping it hooked up to the tow rig. BTW, just saw them at harbor freight tools for half the price. They look identical but aren't Husky. Damn!

I bought them for a kayak saddle. They worked, but I had to go out and buy longer, rust resistant carriage bolts. As long as you have round cross bars, you should be able to adapt.

As long as the bars are round you should be able to do that. I have a micro-trailer (SportsRig) with round bars and use the brackets for my large tandem kayaks.

You need to measure the width between your roof rack rails where attachment of this carrier can be mounted. Then add up your kayaks width to make sure you have sufficient room. The seawing is pretty wide. I got one on my rack (mounted in the middle) then needed two side mount carriers to get the other two kayaks up on top. Total weight of all kayaks was a concern. Make sure you check with the manufacturer to make sure you don't exceed the roof rack capacity. Like the SeaWing though, Real simple to install and use. A bit of movement (flex in the wing) while driving takes some getting use to. Malone was real nice to deal with.

Not sure my factory aero bars would only work to haul one kayak, so I got the Malone bars tookstock off and can use two sets . If that helps you. My problem was could not fold rack s compleatly open.

I am sorry but I am not familiar with your kayak so I can't answer that. They are great braces and work well for me.

Sorry it's 2 months out, Lightfoot..... But, yes, the bars are strong enough for poly kayaks. We run a 2 kayak setup with the Malone Stax Pro and Inno cradles.

That shouldn't be a problem. I have a pair of Wilderness Systems kayaks in the 50-60 lb range. These handles work well for carrying our kayaks.

This question was posed last week. There were differing opinions about whether they are suitable for a paddle board. I believe they are. They may overhang over a bit, but I don't see why they would not work.. I have a summer home in the Berkshires and two kayaks. One is a 12 ft. Kayak and the other is a ten. We have them stored in the garage on these stands and we love them! I hope this helps. Best of luck.
