Will the Malone Kayak Load Assist Module bolt onto a Dodge Durango 2002 roof rack? Thank you

The Malone Load Assist Module attaches to the Malone J cradles. It does not attach to the trucks roof racks. When in use, it is held to the side ofthe vehicle with large suction cups which prevent it from moving side to side. It is easily removed when the kayak is loaded/unloaded.

The Malone Load Assist Module is not intended to bolt onto anything. It clips temporarily onto the Malone kayak racks to assist in loading. It is intended for loading and offloading only and needs to be stored in the vehicle otherwise.

The J racks can attach to any cross bar. If you only have the racks that run along the top sides of the car you will need cross racks in order to use any system. You need the Malone J racks to use the Load Assist devises. By the way, I am 4'10" and my car has a high roof. I can load my kayak myself with this system (and a step stool).

No it attaches to the Malone downloaded racks which will attach to the Durango roof rack

Probably since it is also a Thule product and the cross rails visually appear to be size that the kayak carrier brackets will fit. Best to call Thule customer service. They are very helpful.

I have a Toyota with factory racks that are wide and flat but my friend has a rack with round bars and she has the same Malone Wings. We both loves these mounts as they are so easy to use and work with any size kayak. They don't work with canoes just so you know but we both have sots and sit ins of various sizes and these mounts work with all our kayaks. The only thing I don't care for are the straps so I use NRS straps but other than that these are great! They screw down I would say on most any size racks unless the cross bar is exceptionally large and hold your boat very secure. Hope this helps.

It should fit. You will need to purchase the metal c-channel that fits in the rail before you can install the roof rack. Works great and very easy to install. Took less than an hour to install c-channel and crossbars.

I have used the rack with one kayak without any problems; however, I use a different set of straps that I preferred from previous use. I use the "Sea to Summit Solution Gear Tie Down Straps with Neoprene Buckle Cover (Pairs) - 15 Ft" which I purchased on Amazon some time ago.

I dont know, I just lay my kayak directly on the bars and tie them down and it works great

I believe 300 lbs. The main stress is on your vertical rack system, which depends on your vehicle. Mine is a 2007 Ford Edge and I think it is at capacity with my 2-seater kayak. The strap system has to be re-tightened constantly as normal wind from driving as well as bumps can shake it loose. If your rack is well attached to your vehicle, you should be okay. I got custom U-bolts, as my factory rack (verticals) were wider than the brackets on holders. If you need me to send pictures regarding what I'm talking about, send me an e-mail to joelottdesign@yahoo.com. Thanks

Sure will. As they are 2 separate pieces the width is issue. My kayak weighs about 75lbs and it is no problem.

You are referring to Malone's Cross Rail System? Most definitely you can. We carry two Dirigo kayaks, a fairly wide kayak, so any kayak that is within that width or less, will easily fit. Also, our factory cross rail system is only 44" wide, when the Malone Downloader is locked into it's upright position we still have several inches between the two upright hoops and the kayaks do not touch in any way.

I've used this with one and two kayaks. The only problem i had was with the length of the screws holding the brackets on. The forward crossbar on my mountaineer was closer to the roof and the weight of the kayaks made the screw rub on the roof. My crossbars were flat and the brackets didn't fit that well. i made some modifications and it was pretty secure. Not a bad roof rack for the $$. I like the way this rack system folds down when not in use. I think the J racks are better by far but they're so pricey.

Yes - I just installed on my 2014 Durango. 10 minute, easy install (with 2 people) if you have a socket wrench/set

Yes. Buy yourself an adjustable lug wrench and you will save yourself a lot of time installing the rack.

My wife put 2 picnic table kits from Home Depot in a safari basket mounted on top of these. I think they should support your kayak!

I am not sure, but my 2012 rails on the roof were equipped to hold the cargo carrier when I unscrews them and put them back on upside down. I had to send these racks back because I didn't need them.
