The Tailbone fits a standard 2″ receiver and holds a 50″ aluminum crossbar that adjusts up to 12″ in height. Removable guideposts help line the boat up, and gear grooves let you add accessories. It extends the roofline so longer kayaks are better supported on tall vehicles.

- Set the height so the bar sits close to the level of your roof rack to keep the boat flat.
KayakDIY take: A hitch support makes loading a long boat onto a tall vehicle much easier. For more transport gear, see my fishing kayak accessories guide.
