Carrying 2 Kayaks on Thule TracRac TracONE Ladder Rack Crossbars

Question:

2018 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab P/U. I am strongly considering the Thule TracRac TracOne as a rack for my bed. I am thinking about loading/unloading two kayaks from it and came across the Yakima HandRoll Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - 1/2 System - Roller Style - Rear Loading - Clamp Oninch and the Yakima DeckHand Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - 1/2 System - Saddle Style - Rear Loading - Clamp On Will these Yakima rollers and pads attach to the Thule Double t slot crossbarinch component?

For your 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500, the Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Fixed Mount - 800 lbs - Silver # TH27000XT, you can absolutely use easy loading kayak carriers but the Yakima options won't fit around the larger crossbars. Instead, I recommend using the Rhino-Rack Nautic 581 Rear Loading Kayak Carrier - Saddle Style - Rear Loading - Channel Mount # RR581 which will give you that load assist with the mounting in the channel on top of the crossbars. You will need two sets of these to carry two kayaks.
