A roof rack consisting of the # RRVA150B-2 Vortex crossbars is what I'd recommend you go with. The aerodynamic crossbars help minimize wind noise, and the rack has a 165 lb capacity.

You can construct a roof rack using the following parts:

59 inch Vortex Aero Crossbars, part # RRVA150B-2
Roof rack legs, part # RRRLKVA
Vehicle specific clamp kit, part # DK498

For a 2 kayak carrier, I'd recommend going with the Rhino Rack folding J-style kayak carriers, part # S512. When used with the # RRS512X expansion arms, you'll be able to carry 2 kayaks without needing to purchase a second carrier. Straps for securing the kayak to the roof rack and bow/stern tie-downs are included.
