Will Yakima ShowDown Fit with Thule Square Bar Roof Rack

Question:

I have a superduty crew cab with Thule square bars , 96 inch length. Planning on using 2 racks, one on each side. Any issues with doing this?

You can definitely use the Yakima ShowDown # Y04081 with your setup as long as the Thule roof rack isn't installed using clamps for the doorjambs on your Super Duty and they have the 3-1/2" of overhang on both sides for the towers (see attached photo).

One thing to note is that the ShowDown weighs in at 21 lbs so with 2 of this system installed your roof rack capacity will be lowered by 42 lbs.
