I have 48" bars and use J cradles. Might be a pain to lift them that high on to a full size truck.
Do this hack. Makes it much easier.

I took a couple of 3/4" electrical conduit, cut it to the correct size, drilled a couple of holes in each end to line them up with the J cradles, flattened out the ends a bit and now they don't rotate.
