Question:
Does the Malone Telos loader come with longer legs? Its supposed to be compatible with my car -Ford Expedition, but the legs fully extended dont reach the ground. It was extremely difficult- but with a major effort and 2 cases of coke to support the legs, I managed. This is not good. Please tell me they have longer ones available or some sort of solution.

Expert Reply:
The Telos XL Load Assist for Malone Kayak Carriers part # MPG351XL can be adjusted up to a height of 98-1/4" long. If the roof rack on the vehicle sits higher than this then it would not work without additional props to support the legs such as the Stackers Leveling Blocks part # A10-0916. Unfortunately, there are no extended legs which offer more height so in which case you'd need to consider another style of load assist like the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Roof Rack and Lift Assist part # TH898 which does not make contact with the ground.
