Would I need to install crossbars to carry a SUP or is there enough spacing with the standard set up?

Provided there are no accessories in your way there shouldn't be an issue. This is rated for 300 Lbs evenly distributed.

It should be possible to carry a board that size using just the base rack and some good rope/tie-down skills; however, this would also depend on whether you have added off-road lights to the 3 light tabs since they could potentially get in the way of the board laying flat (otherwise the board would rest on the lights).

I drove a 9' longboard in it's daybag across the US, so yes, as long as the bag isn't wider than rack's bars (probably anything but a SUP will fit)

No you won't need the longer cables. I moved mine from above the bars to underneath and gives me enough room.

I use it to hold two SUPs which total about 12" deep so I think it would be fine. Worse case scenario would be a couple of bungees to keep it on.

There shouldn't be a problem. The unit hardware provided is adjustable. However, if you do not have crossbars installed on your vehicle you will need to provide these yourself.

I loved my cross bars, I used it for my kayak. It comes with all the hardware that you need. Hardest part I had was figuring out how to take the strips off my roof. Only had 1 kayak possibly 50lbs and it worked wonderfully with j racks.

Not sure about the difference but the SUP version probably has wider supports the supports are at least as wide as my SUPs.

Depth is the biggest issue. I agree that using rails would be best, but I successfully mounted mine just using the front mounting tabs. I do have other things below it that give some extra support.

My MBB rack is mounted to the front post and cargo rack over the rear wheel. I have a 9-6 longboard. I must lean the bike or lay it down away from the weighted side to load and unload. The bike rides fine with a slight shimmy at the front wheel. I don't know how the bike would handle a 12 foot SUP but the rack is sturdy enough.

It is pretty big so unless you have a ton I wouldn't recommend it. And also not sure how you would be able to keep the s hooks on the bars.

I think only that the SUP racks are designed to support a much wider board. Other than that, I think they are identical.

Good day, if the crossbars are not adjustable, it may not fit perfectly out of the box, as the mounting holes are in predetermined locations, but the bar spread you have can be accommodated by the box. Thank you and have a great day!

The Suspenz website claims each position will support a boat up to 100 lbs. and 34 ins. wide. Since you can expand this basic frame up to six boats with installation of backside foot extensions and height extensions, the basic strength of this system should be adequate for most kayaks you might want to store. My first impression upon putting this rack together was that it was overbuilt.

Crossbars are only 3 strips when up, at top middle and bottom going horizontal. So plenty of room for storage. We put our suitcases and duffle bags under and out of the way

I would think so... I have them and they seem standard cross bars. I can put 2 ladders on them with no problem.

Not sure why it wouldn't. We only have kayaks and this rack works great! Might have to get longer tie downs to compensate for the extra width of your SUP.

I don't see a problem with that. SUPs are pretty light. The pricy ones even more so. Its the 11' that's the issue on that car. The roof line isn't very long. If there is an anchor point on the nose for an ankle leash it might be a good idea to use that to keep from lifting due to wind while driving. I would want to hold the nose down some how no matter how I put it on that roof.
