Roof rack help??

So my truck doesn't have the OEM roof rack or cross bars, and to buy them is more expensive than a rack set up, but I don't like how high they seem to sit since I want to put a basket on it. Anyone here know of any other brands that arent super expensive or that bolt in without looking to awkward? 

Find a used rack at a salvage yard. I picked on up for $100 about 8 years ago.
