Hey Ben, that type of Thule roof rack has been discontinued for quite some time now so the fit kits aren't available anymore. Only solution would be a new style Thule roof rack like the Wingbar Evo part # TH96KG. Do you have a set of Thule bars currently? If so, what shape?

@Ben Very valid question. So we have a ton of old stock of that old style foot. At one point this foot was going to be used with the new bars for some fits as they attachment is still the same between the crossbar and the foot but Thule quickly got away from it and changed their feet and fit kits altogether. We basically have 140 of these feet kits and no fit kits for them since Thule changed it all. With that said I found an old Thule catalog and the fit kit number you would need is the 1520 which I wish we still had but we sold our last stock. Looks like it's been gone for about 9 years too.

@Ben It's the best shot and seems to be correct. I was only able to find up to a 2016 year catalog which should still be correct for your truck.
