These have enough clearance to bolt to the roof rails & mount a 60" hi-lift across the top of the roof. I don't have the factory roof crossbows, but got some cheesy tie-down things. Take those off and use the little mount pieces (that slide in the rails) to bolt down the hi-lift mounts. I bet if you put it right at the rear of the roof rails, it would be easy to open the rear gate, get the hi-lift off the roof.

Of course, a 60" hi-lift will stick out about 2" on each side...
