The Rhino Rack Aero/Sportz Crossbar Fit Kit, part # S280 is designed for Rhino-Rack steel mesh basket or steel mesh tray cargo carrier. The U-bolts are designed for crossbars up to 3-7/8 inches in diameter.

You will need to measure on your Karrite Voyager to be able to tell if the U-bolts would work on the mounting holes in your Karrite carrier and to measure your crossbars on your 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee to know if they are smaller than 3-7/8 inches in diameter.

I also have U-bolts that are designed for Thule cargo boxes. The diameter measurements on the Thule U-bolts are as follows.

Replacement U-Bolt for Thule Evolution Cargo Box, part 43216, is 3-1/4 inches
Replacement U-Bolt for Thule Sidekick Cargo Box, part # TH02943, is 4 inches
Replacement U-Bolt for Thule Time Travel Cargo Boxes, part 43216, is 3-1/4 inches

The wing nuts you would need for the Thule U-bolts is Replacement Wing Nut for Thule Cargo Boxes, part # TH04877.
