Hey Kevin, due to the larger size of the TracRac ladder rack load bars the only way to attach a kayak carrier to them is using the channel that is on top of them. For a J-style kayak carrier you'd want the Thule Hull a Port Aero part # TH849000 or if you like a saddle style the Rhino Rack Nautic part # RR581. I would think for mounting on a taller ladder rack a saddle style would be preferred.
