You could possibly fit four of the # S65148 on your roof but it will be a pain to load majority of your kayaks up there. There is a better solution I found that will be more user friendly.
You are going to need a large roof rack bar to accommodate your 4 kayaks. I suggest the Yakima 60" HD Bars # Y01157 and If you have factory side rails you will need the Yakima SkyLine Towers # Y53TR along with the Side Rail Adapter # Y03541 and Landing Pad # Y00221.
If you have factory raised rails I still recommend the Yakima 60" HD Bars but you will need the TimberLine Towers # Y00147 along with the adapter # Y03541.
Then you will be able to use TWO of the Thule Stacker # TH830. This will allow you to put a Kayak on both sides of the center mast.
If you have a Denali, naked roof, or Kayaks longer than 10ft, let me know and I will get you set up with the system that will work with that setup.
If that's not the case, check out these videos to learn more about my recommended parts!
