Question:
Will the e98878 J Bar/Rack fit around 2” square tubing Leitner ACS forged bed rack? Looking for J-bars that will do that and be able to haul a heavy kayak, 100 lb Hobie. Thanks for your help

Expert Reply:
The etrailer Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # e98878 fit crossbars measuring up to 3-1/8" wide x 1-1/2" tall, so since your square crossbars are a little taller we need to go with a different solution, and for that I recommend the Class 2 from Kuat:
- Kuat Class 2 Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # C2R1B
This is a fixed rack so it can't be folded, but this is a great quality system and it comes with standard bolts as well as longer bolts that fit thicker ladder rack crossbars like what you have.
