Re: roof rack brackets.
You can also buy the regular size raingutter towers (bought mine used from eBay) and then make your own extensions with 4" pieces of square or round pipe that have a matching diameter, or you can buy a highrise kit for them. It may be more hassle than you want, I did it because I had access to the welding shop at work, and because the eBay seller I usually buy from did not have the hirise towers, or the 'highrise kit', but did have regular raingutter towers.
I posted that sellers name in another thread a few months back BTW. I just ran out and took these pics for you:

Re: roof rack brackets.
I use Thule towers. 11 inches. They are great. Make sure you get the newer kind - older style of attaching can crack your roof.
