The weight capacity for the SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack # SR1005 that you referenced is 130 lbs. The total weight for your kayaks is 110 lbs, so that leaves you with 20 lbs of extra capacity.
You will need to check the owners manual of your 2002 Chrysler 300M with a sunroof to determine what Chrysler lists as the roof capacity for your vehicle. The lower of the two figures will be your overall roof rack capacity.
For a kayak carrier to carry both of your kayaks you could get the SportRack Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # SR5511.
