The Swagman Exo Aero Rooftop Kayak Carrier System # S65145 referenced in your question is compatible with factory crossbars that are up to 2-1/2 inches wide. You will just want to measure the width of the crossbars on your Dodge Durango to ensure that this carrier will fit.

I did reach out to my contact at Swagman and was able to confirm that this system can accommodate a 30 inch wide kayak like yours without issue. This unit will include 2 of the saddle-style cradles so you will only need to purchase one if you are just loading one kayak. Two tie-down straps with cam buckles and two bow/stern anchor ropes are also included to secure the kayak to the carrier. Also note that this is one of the few kayak carriers that can safely mount on the outside end of the crossbar.

I have attached a demonstration video on this product so you can see exactly how it installs and operates.
