Would these ties work for tying down Kayaks onto my Jeep or should I get shorter ones?

I would not go shorter. You can always cut them to fit or wrap the excess around and tuck the ends. Just make sure the hooks will fit around your roof rack. The opening is approx 1" round. I love these ties and that is saying a lot for me They are 7', not 15' as stated in part of the description.

They will hold your kayak fine if they mount well to the cross bars of your roof rack. The brackets are curved so the cross bars have to be at least an inch thick.

Yes, you can use with extra long ties. I personally buy ties from "Tie Bars.com" and they are all extra long ties.

I started out using them, but then figured out I could get by without them. I think it really depends on the size of your kayak. Mine is only 10ft long, so it doesn't catch much wind.

it depends on the length of the kayak and roof racks. i use them on my 2011 escape with 15 and 17 foot boats. i don't use front and back ties either, just the ones from the saddle. i do have them as far apart as the roof racks will allow and the long boat will "bob' a bit if it's real windy. i've never had any problems.

Put the kayak in the holders then run the straps through the ends and make a contionious loop. Pull tight. This should pull your kayak tight against the j rack. Secure any leftover strap.

Haven't tied them yet, but I think as long as they are universal you should be ok..I usually always buy universal needles, mine is a Brother.

They did not work for me on my kayak accessorries. Not long inouph.3 of accorries fell off. Not worth it unless u are mounting extremeliy thin accessories

they are adjustable and can be set as far apart as the cross bar - the one on my MINI Countryman is about 4ft and I have then set to handle the kayak at about 2ft apart - 2 pair come in the kit and can be used either clamped on or set in a slot and tightened down - the slot attachment is not an easy fit, but does look better in my opinion

If your jeep has three holes in a triangle pattern they should work, I used them on my trailer

Sorry I do not have a exact length but I hung my kayaks off my 12' garage ceiling & had enough rope. The pulleys lock automatically & release when the rope is pulled straight down & held at that angle.

This should do a nice job of securing your Kayak. Additional ties make for a good backup depending on the length of your Yak and the speed you drive.

Definitely should. I have two 15' Kayaks and no issues...just you'll need to space it a little more on the wall. Mine are about 8 ft apart. These are great!

It depends on where your tie-downs are located. The Apex seat has two straps that go forward from the top of the seat to provide back support and two that go back to keep the bottom cushion in place. The connectors are clip-types that will hook over at least a 5/16th inch loop. So, if you have two tie-downs forward of where you sit, you can probably 'make it work' and if you have another pair low and inside the kayak, you can get seat stability. Hope that helps. Bottom line, they are made for sit on tops. So, you will be proceeding at your own discretion.

They are just nylon straps that form a loop, so you could conceivably arrange your kayaks in any form within the nylon straps. But I would suspect that they will tend to move around, so you may want to use bungie chords or some other fastener to "tie" the kayaks in place then wrap the nylon straps around the bundle of boats!

I bought these and they do work for my 2wd jeep the only thing to note is that this much lift is gonna make you need a longer drive shaft. the added height is gonna make your car vibrate if the drive shaft is too short.

Yes, they are larger which for an open space won't make any difference but if you are trying to secure something on, say, your motorcycle and the gap between a couple of surfaces is tight, these hooks may not fit.Said another way: These hooks are formed as opposed to the plastic-dipped metal hooks we have all been 'historically' using. Where the real value comes using the CamLok tie downs is the ability to be able to adjust the overall length to an exact fit. For that aspect alone I recommend them.
