Hey XI, I used 3" on my rolling cart, my opinion is that it might be a bit large for the SUV rack. When I built the cart, I laid the Outback on the pipes and marked them where they "fit" into the channels. The center to center measurement for the rear is approx. 12", the front is approx. 14". The channels aren't straight and parallel, so no perfect measurement, just place them where kayak rests the best.
I was wondering if the 2" would be too small to keep the belly of the kayak from touching the cross bars? I've got both, so I guess I'll just have to test it out.
