Roof Rack Question.

Does anyone have a GM accessory part number for the Suburban Roof Rack? I am trying to figure out some details, but am having some difficulty. I know at some point they had the one that kind of leaned forward in the front, then they changed to the ones that kind of leaned backwards in the front. I am really more interested in the one that kind of leaned forward. I don't understand what the difference in the number of feet is. I have seen some that have 2 feet per side, and others that have 3 feet per side. I also would like to know the dimensions of the suburban roof rack if possible. I know the blazer one is shorter, but I don't know how much shorter. If anyone could help me out I would really appreciate it. Pics are always nice if available, but I would really just be happy with an explanation at this point.
Thanks!
Shawn

Re: Roof Rack Question.

"Most" of the suburban ones have 3 feet per side. The only difference in the leaning forward and the leaning rearward are the 2 front feet and you can swap them out. Overall length is approximately 64". Here's pictures of both:

EDIT. Looks like the middle foot doesn't lean either, but if you found 2 front feet I'm not sure how much you would notice it.
