Recommended Kayak Carrier for Adarac Ladder Rack on 2016 Ford F-150
Question:
What are the best kayak supports to use with an Adarac Truck Bed Rack System? I want to carry 2 kayaks. I have a 2016 F150 with 5.5ft bed.

For your Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack, like the Steel # A70490, that you have installed on your Ford F-150, I recommend using the Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier # TH834. The Adarac crossbars on the systems we have available for your truck feature dimensions of 1-1/2 inches tall and 1-1/2 inches wide, which will work well with the Thule Carrier as long as you add the Xadapt3 # THXADAPT3. This kit just includes longer bolts to help with proper mounting on these larger crossbars. If your particular system includes crossbars with different dimensions, please let me know and I will be happy to confirm if this will fit or recommend another option.
The Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier is a really nice, J-style carrier that will secure one kayak on its side. It features a compact design and a wide cradle mouth to allow for easy loading and unloading. 2 Tie-down straps with padded buckles and 1 set of bow/stern tie-downs are also included. To secure both of your kayaks, you will just need two of these carriers.
I have attached a short video demonstration on this product that you can also check out.
