Expert Reply:

We do have an option for a load assist that works with round crossbars, but the Rhino-Rack Universal Load Assist # RR-RUSL does not; it will only work with certain aero and square crossbars. Instead, you would need the Inno Kayak Lifter Load Assist # INA453.

The Inno Kayak Lifter Load Assist # INA453 is a universal fit that will work with all shapes of crossbars (including round), as long as the crossbars have between a 27" to 39" spread. This is a fairly standard spread, so it is likely that it will work for your Jeep, but I do recommend verifying your crossbar spread just to be sure. The # INA453 is the same type of side-mounted load assist as the Rhino-Rack, allowing you to more easily get your load on top of your car.
