The best roof rack option that fits your 2005 GMC Sierra Crew Cab with a naked roof is the Thule WingBar Evo rack part numbers # TH711400, # TH480R, and # THKIT1522. This gives you the highest quality, easiest to install, quietest, and best looking rack that fits your truck and would do really well to carry two kayaks. I attached an install video for this rack on a similar GMC Sierra as yours for you to check out as well.

Then for a kayak carrier we have the Yakima JayLow part # Y04073 which is would do a great job carrying both kayaks as it can carry two at a time if they are up on end. Or if you prefer you can use it as a J-style carrier for each of them. This would require two carriers though.
