Recommended Kayak Carrier and Load Assister for a 2010 Lexus RX 350
Question:
I have a 2010 Lexus rx350. It has the factory raised side rails. What will I need if I want to purchase two Thule hullavator’s. I have two kayaks and would like to use hullavators on both sides of my car. Thanks

Without a doubt you're going to need a set of crossbars to mount the Thule Hullavator # TH898 to your 2010 Lexus RX 350, however to use two of these on the same set of bars you'd need bars that are around 60" long.
Unfortunately the longest set of bars we have for your vehicle are the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711320 with the feet # TH710401 which are 50" long so you're not going to be able to do what you're wanting.
Instead, I'd recommend going with two sets of the Malone DownLoader Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # MPG114MD and use the Telos XL Load Assist for Malone Kayak Carriers # MPG351XL to easily load and unload your kayaks.
With these being J-Style carriers, they're going to eat up a lot less room on your bars so you'll be able to carry both kayaks in the same fashion.
