Recommended Roof Rack/Carrier for 2 Kayaks on 2014 Chevy Silverado 3500 Crew Cab
Question:
I have a 3500 Chevy Silverado crew cab. I need a roof rack to carry two Kayaks that are 10 feet long. What system do you recommend. Thanks

First, let's start with the kayak carrier. A kayak carrier system like # S512 used with the # RRS512X would allow you to carry two kayaks, while not using a lot of space on the roof.
You'll next need to choose a roof rack to provide an attachment point for the kayak carrier. I recommend an Vortex Aero rack from Rhino-Rack which is the most budget friendly aero bar option. The rack consists of the following parts:
54 inch Vortex Aero crossbars, part # RRVA137B-2
Vortex roof rack legs, part # RRRLKVA
Vehicle specific clamp kit, part # DK227
