Default Cross bars for 2023 Discovery P360

Anyone have a low profile crossbar set they love?

I see some ideas here:

I actually emailed chatted with BA Tents but didn't pull the trigger. I got this response from them:
It is 2” from the top of the roof, top dead center, or roughly same height as the shrkfin on top.
And
Happy Monday! Sorry, we only offer the one bar size at this time.

IF you go to the product page, there are the assembly diagrams at the last images, also attached.
Where I left it was uncertainty about fit of accessories to their system. I think they're more interested in selling tents than racks. However they do offer a bit of a platform and a light bar thing now. Only fixed width.

I ended up going hitch mounted (and completely love) this:

Started off with the box & bike. Just recently got the top shelf second level. The D5 tailgate opens above the box in single layer mode.

These worked great on my road trip with a full pod. They resonate around 33-40mph, so I don't keep them on all the time. Maybe I need to dial them in or maybe that's common?

I think those are the ones I have, and I don't like them. they don't fit that well for width (at least mine are that way) and when I tighten them, the inner latch is what moves, not the outer as I expected. since the width is just a smidge too wide, this just bows upwards the entire bar and puts pressure on the rails, and I'm not cool with that.

could be I had them too far back with the forward bar as the between-rails width isn't the same from front to back and narrows. (didn't know that until the bars arrived and are two different lengths ) the price is nice though.
