Hello Nathan, good question. Looking at the size of the Thule Compass Kayak Carrier # TH890000 compared to the size of the TracRac crossbars, I definitely share your concern. The kayak carrier is 32" long overall and the crossbars are 65" long. With the placement of the uprights, I do not see both carriers fitting side by side correctly. Carrying 4 kayaks on a TracRac is going to be tricky because no matter what kind of carrier you use, there would likely not be room for all four. Two (or maybe 3) kayaks would probobly be the max. Could you carry two on the ladder rack and the other two in the truck bed? That would be one solution. That or you would have to get a small kayak trailer like the Malone MicroSport Trailer with J-Style Carriers for 4 Kayaks # MPG462G2.
