Roof rack options for your 2014 Chevrolet Express Van with rain gutters are displayed on the linked page and these include products from Inno, Rhino-Rack and Thule.

As you review the rack systems you will notice that their weight ratings vary considerably depending on the bar type. The great-value option from Thule, their square bar system, offers a 165-lb capacity, but the Rhino-Rack system with heavy-duty bars can handle up to 220-lbs; this rack is made of parts # RB1650 and # RRRL150GMC-2. There is also a 3-bar option that carries the same overall weight rating.

In general, round and square bar racks have the best compatibility with rack-mounted accessory carriers like kayak, bike and cargo carriers. If you're interested in any such rack-mount carriers please let me know and I will be glad to recommend options.

The Inno Square Crossbars part #INB165 and the Thule Square Load Bars part THLB65 are both 65" long x 1-1/4" wide x 7/8" tall so yes, they should work in place of one another just fine.

Hello Christina. The 60" Inno Square Crossbars #INB165 you mentioned may work for you. These will only work with the Inno square bar towers, or the old-style Thule square bar towers. So as long as this is what you have they will work great. The…

For your 1991 Ford Van with rain gutters all you need to install an Inno roof rack is the part numbers #INB165 and #INSD and you'd be set. This attaches directly to the rain gutter and gives you a great fitting square bar roof rack.

I checked out the gutter height on pictures of 2019 Jeep Wranglers and there's no reason the lower 5 inch gutter feet part #TH65BJ wouldn't fit and give you additional clearance.
