I can offer you a simple and very cost-effective option for transporting your kayak on your 2015 Ram 1500 Quad cab. Foam block type kayak carriers (shown on the linked page) offer a powerful combination of virtues: they are inexpensive, lightweight, fast and easy to install and remove and they require no permanent mods to your truck.

For instance, Righline Gear offers their 1-kayak carrier system # RL100K10. These foam block carriers include bow and stern tie-down straps for the kayak and straps to secure the carrier to your cab roof.

If your truck does not have the Rambox feature you could instead install a ladder rack to transport your kayak over (but not in) the bed.

If you want to install a roof rack on the truck's cab to allow use of a J-style or other rack-mount kayak carrier please let me know. Roof racks for your Quad cab are linked for you.
