has anyone used Surco roof cross bars??

They're higher than the OEM ones. I'll measure how high they rise above the roof tonight and post. Here's another thread that may be of interest and I have a couple of pics posted there. I also included one below:

BradO - thank you for the pics and description. I really like how the crossbars look actually, a little more obvious than the OEM ones. Another Q - is it possible to mount a surco rack without the crossbars in between? Just mount it to the 4 adapters so it sits a bit lower?

You could, but you would have to fab a flat piece to secure it. The existing mounts won't connect to the racks existing connection points. You would also lose any support to carry heavier items.
