Hey Andy, for your 2020 Chevrolet Suburban I recommend going with the Yakima SkyLine Roof Rack for Fixed Mounting Points # Y59KB. These bars measure 60" long, have a 165 lb dynamic weight rating, and is made of Aluminum. I'd recommend sticking with Aluminum personally because it's going to cut down the overall weight on your roof by quite a bit.

For a cargo basket, I'd recommend going with the Yakima MegaWarrior Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket # Y07080. This basket is 52" long, 48" wide, and has a 130 lb weight capacity.

This basket can also carry up to 4 bikes; up to 2 bikes and 1 kayak; 1 canoe; up to 2 bikes and Yakima Big PowderHound; or up to 3 kayaks and 1 bike.

What sort of plans do you have with these bars and basket? Anything fun? If you think of anything else you need, please feel free to drop a comment and let me know!

Hey Andy, how did the Yakima SkyLine rack and MegaWarrior basket work out on your Suburban? Did the lighter aluminum bars make a noticeable difference in handling or setup? Your feedback could really help others choosing between steel and aluminum options.
