Cargo rack?
Ok I have a question, I’m leaving West Virginia in a couple weeks and have more sh!t up here now than what I brought with me originally lol. What’s a good option as far as a roof rack or something to help get everything home?

I have the barricade roof rack and it's ok. I wouldn't buy it again as it doesn't fit and stay snug like I had hoped (driving 5 hrs from VA to WV). It did work to move two kayaks across town but I haven't put any other real weight on it.
The Gobi may be a better option and come with fewer roof noises than the economy brands. I've also used a cargo carrier in the hitch but you've got to ditch your spare tire to have any real room on it.
What is it specifically that you're looking to move? Renting a small trailer from Uhaul may be a better option. I've had more confidence in way more weight on a small trailer than the roof top rack or the cargo hitch rack.

I have the Garvin Wilderness Expedition rack. I would absolutely buy it again. USA company and great customer service. I have used and abused this rack and it is still perfect.
Here is a link to a video where I discuss it in great detail.
