Default rack for surfboards on 1998 ford expedition roof rack

I gotta get four surfboards (both long and short) on my 1998 Ford Expedition roof rack bars. Anyone with a similar set up that can help me out here???

Default two thule 554xt surfboard racks side by side on ford expedition roof rack will work

I think you'll find the Thule 554XT Hang-Two surfboard rack is exactly what you're looking for. This rack for surfboards attaches directly to your 1998 Ford Expedition roof rack cross bars, eliminating the extra expense of having to purchase a multi-purpose base rack system that replaces your factory rack. Each Thule 554XT Hang-Two can hold 2 surfboards. If you want to transport another couple of surfboards then your can place another 554XT surfboard carrier along side the first 554XT system on your factory rack crossbars. Like most SUV's and larger car models the Ford Expedition has a wider roof top than smaller sedans, wagons etc. The wider roof top means your cross bars are longer allowing enough room for two of these surfboard racks to attach side by side. Smaller vehicles with cross bars that aren't as long would only be able to attach one set of the Thule 554Xt Hang Two to their crossbars. If they wanted to attach another they would need to install an aftermarket base rack system that replaces their factory rack. The new base rack system would allow for the choice of longer length crossbars to enable two surfboard racks to live side by side. But because your factory roof rack cross bars are already long enough you do not need to worry about investing in a new multi-purpose base rack system. Simply attaching two 554XT surfboard carriers will do the trick.
