I checked with Yakima and the RailGrab towers, # Y00138, will fit the raised side rails on a 2012 Subaru Outback Wagon. Yakima does also recommend the 48 inch bars for this system, # Y00408, that you have referenced. I have included some informational links on this system for you to view.
For a kayak carrier, I recommend the Yakima BowDown, # Y04042. This carrier will provide a safe method for carrying the kayak while protecting the kayak and the vehicle. To make loading easier, I recommend adding some Yakima BoatLoader extensions, # Y04018. This will allow one person to load the kayak easier.
