HD Roof Rack On Suburban

I need to build a heavy duty rack for my '95 Suburban. It doesn't have the factory rack. I could go to the junkyard and come home with one of those today. But, I need something heavier and would like to hear ideas from others. the rack will basically be a ladder/lumber rack like you'll see on a pickup or van. I'll style it to give more of an adventure machine rack to carry kayaks and such as well as work related. My concerns are locating best mounting points and best way to avoid metal fatigue. just looking for suggestions and/or hopefully experience of mounting heavy rack on any Suburban '92-present where there is no drip rail to use like on a van.
