Question:

Hello, I am looking for a complete roof setup to carry two twelve foot kayaks on a 2015 F150 Supercrew - w/ no factory rails. I have a hard top tonneau cover and need the hitch to carry bikes, so I think it will have to be a roof rack w/ J cradles, but open to other suggestions. Thanks.

In order to carry two 12' kayaks on the roof of your 2015 Ford F-150 Supercrew Cab you will first need a roof rack. I recommend the Yakima JetStream Crossbars part # Y00426. These crossbars feature a low-profile aerodynamic design to create a stylish factory-like appearance. Made of lightweight aluminum, the Yakima JetStream Crossbars are an excellent choice for your vehicle.

In addition to our crossbars, you will also need the mounting clips and towers. Designed for naked rooftops, the BaseLine Towers part # Y28TR and BaseClip part # Y06122 are compatible with both the Yakima crossbars and your F-150's roof. They come with all required mounting hardware and brackets needed for installation featuring an integrated locking mechanism to deter theft. Attached are a full list of our j-style kayak carriers.

To house the two kayaks you are requesting, I recommend using our JayLow Kayak Carrier part # Y04073. This kayak carrier will allow for two kayaks with the addition of our Yakima Bow/Stern Tie-Down Ropes part # Y04031 to be secured to the roof of your vehicle. For added security, check out our Yakima Same Key System part # Y07202 compatible with all Yakima products.

These base clips and towers will sit atop your factory roof channels and clip to the inner door jambs to secure the unit to your vehicle. I have also attached a few supporting documents for your review.
