Expansion Arm for Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carriers # RRS512X contains 2 of the extension pieces so you would not have to buy 2 of them to use with carrier # S512. The 34 inch wide kayaks would not be a problem provided that the combined weight of both kayaks is no greater than 99 pounds.

Answer 6

I like the saddle style roof rack for heavier kayaks like yours. J-Style carriers like #S512-S512X will have much more force on them since the kayaks will want to shift around more if they are not sitting flat on the roof. With these Rhino-Rack…
