Hello. I have the AdaRack Pro truck bed rack. I want to carry a large 2 man Ocean kayak. Suggestions for best saddle rack to mount to T slots, or soft pads to wrap the crossbars?

A great solution for your Adarac Pro truck bed rack with top channels for carrying a large 2-person kayak is the Malone SaddleUp Pro Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs for Truck Racks - Saddle Style - Channel Mount # MPG1001. One of the benefits of the SaddleUp is that it can be adjusted to fit the width of your hull by sliding the saddles on the crossbars. It also comes with 2 load straps and 2 bow/stern ties to secure your kayak to your ladder rack. With this system, you will not need soft pads around your crossbars.
