Yes the Rhino-Rack Universal Load Assist - Crossbar Mount - Side Loading # RR-RUSL does fit onto the Yakima Jet Stream Crossbars that you have. This will come in handy when trying to load a kayak onto your roof when you do not have an extra set of hands to help you. I attached a demonstration video for you to check out which shows how to install and use the load assist.

Hello just to confirm you say these will work with the Yakima Jetstream bars 50inches length, 2.75inches wide and 1.1icnhes tall. Do you by chance know which clamps to use and which clamp positions Holes will be best to use as well (inner or outer) thank you again!

@ZurgA Hey Zurg, it gets a bit complicated since Rhino Rack hasn't test-fit their clamps to every single bar on the market, but we do know this will work with Yakima Jetstream bars. You just may have to play around with the clamps to see what fits the bars. I will say that the dimensions of Jetstream bars are closest to the bars that use Clamp A - 1 and Clamp B - 2 as seen in the chart on the 3rd page of the instructions, which I've linked below. http://vpm.cdn.rhinorack.com.au/Instructions/Accessories/RUSL_Rhino-Universal-Side-Loader.pdf
