Question:
Hi, I have a 2008 Jeep Liberty with Factory side raised rails that run front to back. I am purchasing a Thule Mountaineer cargo box, will these cross bars be compatible?

The SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack, part # SR1099, which you referenced in your question is an excellent choice for a roof rack system that will work on your 2008 Jeep Liberty with raised side rails.
I tried to look up the Thule Mountaineer Cargo Box that you mentioned, but it looks like it has been discontinued. The replacement for it is the Thule Pulse Cargo Box # TH615. This cargo box features 16 cubic feet and comes in Matte Black. We actually have a demonstration video of it being installed on a 2008 Jeep Liberty that I will link for you to check out. The Pulse does have a 110 lbs weight capacity though.
One other thing that might prove to be useful is the Tire Wheel Step # PT68ZR. This hangs over your tire and allows you to install a step for easier loading and unloading of any equipment on your roof.
