Contact these guys.
Roof Carrier Systems
If they can't tell you no one can. Also whatever you buy they will give you 50% trade in when you change vehicles and need new racks.
I've been using them for 10-12 years. They are great.
My best effort was a few years ago upgrading from a 1990 Corolla to a 1996 Commodore and needing new bars (Atera at the time). They asked if I wanted new or second hand bits and I said I didn't care.
2nd hand longer bars, reset the stand angle and reused it, 2nd hand clamps to suit and threw in a wind deflector to reduce bar change over. How much?
To walk in and buy new of street at time around $200.
They charged me $20 and fitted them for me.
You could have knocked me down with a feather - I would have been wrapped if I walked out having saved my 50% trade in and paid $100.

hi big fella,
you are really restricted by the load carrying capacity of the bars. and the weight spread of the load. i carry a 65kg boat one bar[rhino trade.] extension on ute screen and bar at rear at tailgate. no problems as rhino carries 60kg each.
i know builders who carry more but low profile.
