Expert Reply:

The Rhino-Rack # RRVA180B-RRRLT600 has 71" crossbars so you will have plenty of room to add a kayak carrier with the Yakima HighRoad Roof Bike Rack # Y22DJ.

The Rhino-Rack Kayak Roof Rack # S512-S512X you looked at would be a great choice, especially if you want to carry 2 kayaks. A J-style carrier will maximize your space, and if you're only carrying one you can remove the extension arms. However, if you only have 1 kayak the # S510 would be a better choice.

Depending on the kayak and your bed length, you may also want to consider adding the Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender # MPG907. This will help keep the kayaks stable if they're hanging out over the back of the truck.
