Could go aes5455 route as well. I have a the same system but different brand on my Subaru, I've had kayaks, wheels and tires, Christmas tress on it and have used to mount my hammocks. No problems.
If you're looking for something shorter try Rhino Rack, that's what I have on the Subaru and it's almost half the height of the Yakima I see most people use.
Only complaint is it wore the paint at the base so I would look into some paint protection film. 3M and Lamin-x make some good stuff.
