I built mine for a pickup and now use foam blocks for single canoe on Jeep.
If I had to haul 2 kayaks, I'd look at Yakima or Thule

Well if you have an existing factory rack that consists of crossbars then all you would need would be a set a Yakima Hullraisers or hully rollers. Both easily mount onto existing factory rack systems and Yakima has a lifetime guarantee, something that Thule does not. If you don't have a factory rack then Yakima can also fit your vehicle with a cross bar system. They are available at Joe's Sports and outdoors and I also believe that REI carries Yakima products.I have a GMC envoy. I have 2 kayaks.

My personal choice would be one of Thule's carriers (and the requisite rack system):

While Thule and Yakima both offer similar products and lifetime warranties, I find the Thule products tend to feel better-built. They're also made in the US, whereas Yakima's products are imported.
If you want to use only one carrier, Thule has the Stacker, which holds up to 4 kayaks:

The other products hold a single kayak, but you should have more than enough rack width to mount multiple carriers.
