Question:
I have a 2020 Chevy Equinox. We are looking at the bare roof Thule system for the roof rack portion with 53inch rails. We would love to add two Thule Hullavators for the convenience of taking both of our kayaks with us and being able to load/unload them so easily. My husband is thinking we will have 4inch to work with on the rails on each side of the car, but wanted me to confirm this?

I have a solution for you but the 53" Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars item # TH711420 you referenced are not going to be wide enough for you to mount two Hullavators item # TH898 and use the lift assist function. To use two Hullavators you will need a minimum of 57" long crossbars as each Hullavator takes up about 28-1/2".
I recommend using the 2020 Chevrolet Equinox Roof Rack by Rhino Rack. The roof rack Includes the following parts:
Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 59" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA150B-2
Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4 item # RRRLKVA
Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs - Naked Roof item # DK488
The 59" long cross bars will give you plenty of space for both Hullavator item # TH898 to work on your Equinox. I have linked an installation video below.
