Recommended Lift Assist for Loading Kayaks on Both Sides of Vehicle
Question:
Good afternoon I’m looking at a kayak lift for a 2017 Ford Explore. But we have 2 Kayaks. Didn’t know if I needed to buy 2 single lifts or if you all had a double Kayak rack system Thanks

For your application I recommend going with the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier and TelosXL Load Assist w/ Tie-Downs # MPG114MD-351XL and then picking up another set of the DownLoader with the Tie-Downs as part # MPG114MD. This gives you a set of J-Cradles for either side of your 2017 Ford Explorer and the TelosXL Load Assist you can use on either side when you go to load of your kayaks!
Attached are some review videos for you to check out.
