I need to mount a heavy, full length platform rack on a mid-height roof, full length 2016 Transit.

Can anyone recommend a heavy duty bracket or tower that bolts into the stock roof mount locations that I can then directly mount bolt my custom rack to?

If I use all 10 of the mounting locations, what's the roof's weight limit for rack and cargo? Are the mounting points part of the roof's actual structural crossmembers?

Good question, I have a MR 19 long cargo with a full length rack H2 Ladder Roof Rack For Ford Transit Cargo Van 2015-On 149 WB – VANTECH USA INC.

From what I know the limit is only 450 pounds for the Transit roof, I've had about a 1000 on mine. And no I don't think the mounting points are part of the crossmembers but don't quote me on that.
