Yes, they will Ben and thanks for the picture! The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack item # MAL84AR is just long enough to accommodate two of the Thule Hullavator Pro item # TH898. These crossbars measure 58" long and two Hullavator's require 57" so you'll have just enough room. Additionally, they have the 4" overhang required to clear the sides of your SUV. What kind of kayak's do you have?

The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack item # MAL84AR will clamp directly to the raised rails on your 2023 Toyota 4Runner SR5. I have linked an installation video below so you can see how to get them set up.

I have 2 crescent kayaks, both of which are roughly 34” wide. Thanks for the response!

@Ben Thanks for the information! Just a heads up you are going to need to angle the kayaks when you clamp them into the Hullavator item # TH898. They're not going to fit mounted side by side on a 58" crossbar and I don't think you want to install 68" ones.
