I've been eyeing the LFD crossbars, but also came across the rago ones.

They generally seem the same concept, the biggest difference to me is that the rago sit lower... and this might be a problem with roof clearance (attaching things?) or with the fin in the back. I otherwise imagine it sitting lower is better.

Anyone have either of these crossbars and can comment? Anyone else done some kind of comparison between these?

I went with LFD for 2 major reasons, the first was the slightly higher height allows for me to actually get under them to attach things without taking the car off. The second reason is they are only about an hour from me.

I ran 4 steel bars on my factory rails for about a year and a half, I didn’t notice/wasn’t bothered by any wind noise. I didn’t have a fairing on the front that they now offer.

I now run there all steel 7/8 rack with the fairing and still not notice any additional wind noise.

Rago makes some nice stuff, big fan of their rear molle panels.

I haven't made a purchase yet but I decided not to go with Rago. Like you said they sit low and looks hard to mount things. Also the price. Very expensive for crossbars and you cant change the quantity of bars. For their price I can almost get a 3/4 full replacement rack from Victory 4x4 or Prinsu.
If I go with crossbars only, I am going LFD or Victory 4x4.

Ah, forgot about Victory! Though they seem much closer to Rago - they sit quite low.

Hmm - really hard to imagine all these options sight unseen... sucks!
