low profile roof bars
Does anyone know any products similar to this? I used to have a sport trac and I loved having bars on my roof but the only products Ive found to put on a newer F-150 are full on roof racks.

wait. what?
I doubt there are any out there. Usually those are only made by OEM as a factory option. Every rack setup I've seen on an F150 has been a Thule or Yakima that clamps down on top of the door opening.

looking for similar
If we could get an aftermarket-installable OEM option like that of the newer Tacomas for the F150, that would seem to solve for what you're interested in, and give me a base roof rack for hauling ski gear:
(feel free to fast forward toward the end where you can see the final product).
The closest thing to "low profile" (granted, it is merely the base for a complete roof rack system) is this solution by Surco:

I'm not likely to go this route as I'd like to avoid long term moisture/rust issues in the roof potentially brought on by drilling, given the channels in the F150 roof sheet metal seem to be present for drainage purposes only.
