I have a extended cab with a short bed and I have found it much easier to utilize the TracRac Contractor racks to carry the kayaks. I use the yakima hully rollers on the rear crossbar to help load and unload the boats. As long as you can get the bow on the rollers it goes up and on the saddles very nicely, without having to lift the entire kayak up on the roof. I have traveled to Baja a few times with kayaks or paddle boards and it is really nice to have the bed space for other gear. I could potentially take 4 people, kayaks and gear with this setup. Hope this helps! Cheers and safe travels!
