thule rack

I bought the Thule square Load Bars and the Curt basket based off a few threads here. After installing it, it seems like it sits higher than most. Is this right? What do you all think? It bothers me a bit but i don't know what I could do about it.

We're finally buying OEM roof racks for our Element, and I wanted to know if anyone has had theirs fail from too much weight. The Honda racks claim just a 66lb weight limit. We want to get a cargo box, and it seems like the bars would barely hold that and some stuff. Wondering if it's worth...
