Helpful Expert Reply:

The Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier item # TH898 requires an extra 4" - 8" of crossbar length past the legs of a roof rack to function correctly. To use two of them you will need a minimum of 57" of crossbar length. For your 2020 Ram 1500 truck, I recommend the roof rack by Yakima which includes the following parts:

Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 70" Long - Qty 2 item # Y00427

BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4 item # Y28TR

BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 4 item # Y06135

I have linked an installation video below for you to take a look at. The crossbars that are recommended for your truck are 60" wide. The 70" ones I recommended will be long enough to allow your Hullavator's item # TH898 lift assist to function properly.
