I use the MBRP roof rack with optional front extension. I've also added a couple extra bars across the extension for carrying a second spare tire. Don't use an RTT, but rather a basket. The MBRP rack mounts to the hardtop, so when your top is removed (or the softtop is installed), the rack isn't available (you could leave the part of the extension around the windshield frame in place as a light bar, if you choose). It uses support braces inside the hardtop to transfer weight from the rack to the top edge of the tub, so it can carry a whole lot of weight. I did have to modify it to make it compatible with the AEV snorkel.
