For your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee with flush roof rails I would recommend the Thule Winbar Evo roof rack part numbers # TH711400, # TH460R, # THKIT3142 to mount the Thule Hullavator part # TH898. The WingBars are the highest quality and very quiet so we recommend them the highest.

I have a 2020 grand Cherokee with the factory installed rails. I see you recommendation but was wondering if I needed a 60" bar so it extends out from the vehicle to allow the Hullavator to work properly. Thanks

@Doug The mentioned roof rack above has been tested and it does have long enough crossbars for the Hullavator to work so going with longer crossbars won't be necessary. It also means you'd be less likely to hit your head on a crossbar since longer bars can cause that. Also longer bars won't fit because the channel that they use to attach to the feet of the rack does not go the full length of the bar.
