FYI there is a forum for these exact questions where people who had experience can provide input versus guessing. Here are a couple options.

I have been running the Exposed Racks (gutter mount 3 bar version) for nearing a year. My RTT weighs 147 lb. and adding my wife, myself and gear up there we are most likely pushing close to 550 lb. or so. We have had no issues. Dee Zee is another option that is gutter mount and people use those for tents as well.
And the JK did have rain gutter - however they were just over the doors and not the rear portion of the hardtop.
