Helpful Expert Reply:

For your 2003 Chevrolet Suburban Z71, I recommend using the Thule Square Load Bars System which is composed of the crossbars part # TH712400 and the mounting feet part # TH710401. This system contains square load bars that are 58" long and have a 165 lbs capacity. However, you will want to rummage through your owner's manual to see if the vehicle's roof capacity is lower. If it is lower than the above crossbars then this is the rating you will need to abide by. In order to secure the ladders to this system I recommend using the Thule Load Stops for Load Bars part # TH503.

I have attached a review video on the above roof rack for you as well.
