I too use a front goal post to support my Yakima cross bar and saddles. I didnt use the goal posts offered by Yakima or Thule as the seemed extremely light weight, so I welded up my own.
As you can see in the pic, I also use a Yakima rack for our bikes. The rear wheels sit on top of a Highway box. A surprising plus related to the box, is all I have to do is unclip the rear wheels on the bikes, and the box opens just fine with the tires rolling as the lid opens.

Depending upon the length - top of the truck - length may require some type of support on the front of the truck.
I use a Yakima system on the roof of the truck to carry 2 or 3 kayaks - 12 footers. I could have more overhang on the front because they get tied off in the center and the back.
