Hey Jacob, thanks for reaching out!
Since you have the Sky-One roof on your 2023 Jeep Rubicon, I recommend going with the Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack for Rain Gutters # TH48ZA as it gives you the newer and nicer aero-style crossbars, the legs are 11" tall (so you can easily open and close your roof), and the whole system is really easy to install.
If you'd like to add some security to the roof rack, then you'll also need the Thule Lock Kit # TH450400.
Do you already have some kayak carriers?

Hey Jacob, how did the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack work out on your Jeep with the Sky-One roof? Were you able to carry both kayaks securely? Your update could make it easier for others setting up a similar system.
