I checked with the rack manufacturers, and there wasn't a way to add crossbars to your 2021 Dodge Durango with the factory crossbars to use the Hullavator. You can still use a kayak carrier with load assist, but it would have to be one that assists from the rear of the vehicle, from Malone:

- Malone SeaWing Kayak Carrier and Load Assist w/ Tie-Downs - Rear Loading # MPG113MD

The # MPG113MD is a saddle-style carrier that has a slide-out at the rear which you'd set the front of your kayak on for leverage to help you push it onto the carrier. While not the same type of assist as the Hullavator, it is the best option to fit your Durango with the factory crossbars. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well if you'd like to take a look.
