Expert Reply:

The best option to keep Kayaks stable on the Adarac Ladder Rack part # A4001221 on a 2019 F-150 is the etrailer.com J-style Kayak carrier part # E98878. The etrailer.com J-style carrier is the best option for your setup because the carriers are designed with universal brackets and hand knobs that allow you to adjust the carriers to fit snugly on the square crossbars of the ladder rack.

The J-style carriers carry the kayaks on their sides so they take up minimal space on the rack. This configuration allows you to carry 2 Kayaks on the ladder racks 66 inch long bars, even if the kayaks are wider than average kayaks. You would need two sets of etrailer.com J-style kayak carriers to carry 2 kayaks. The tie downs that come with the carrier feature a weighted anchor that will close inside your trunk or hood to allow for extra stability. I have attached a video of the etrailer.com Kayak carrier.
