"Sweet Roll" is what Yakima calls the roller/cradle combination kit. It's half of a "Hully Roller" and half of a cradle kit. They just came out with it recently. Before that, you had to either buy the rollers for both ends, or the cradles for both ends.

My Blazer doesn't have a factory rack, so I bought the Yakima q-tower kit, with the q-stretch add-on. The q-towers attach to the rain gutters over the doors, while the stretch kit gives me a 36" span between bars. It works great.
