You should be fine. I use one and only put foam/tape on each side of the PA to keep it centered and padded when tied down. It slides on the bar most of the way up. Have been doing this for a few years now.
My HF bars are still holding up, a little bent at the hitch receiver but hasn't scared me yet. I probably have more weight on mine than most. The front of my yak goes up over my fifth wheel hitch and sits on the top of my toolbox. The good thing about those HF bars is that you can buy like 5 sets for the price of the name brand ones. If needed you could reinforce them for pretty cheap too.
Here is the only pic I have of it in the truck
