Helpful Expert Reply:
The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG216 is a great option confirmed to fit the raised rails on your 2017 Jeep Cherokee. For a simple kayak carrier option that will do the job I recommend the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # Y04073 that will carry 2 Kayaks with up to 36" hull width each. You will need to carry these kayaks on their side due to room available on the bars.
One point to keep in mind is the roof capacity is at 165lbs so as long as the 2 kayaks plus the carrier (<15lbs), and the rack (<12lbs) don't exceed that you will be great.
Included are video resources for both
