Recommendations for Transporting 2 Kayaks with Yakima LongArm Bed Extender on 2015 Ford F-150
Question:
My truck has the Supercrew cab with panoramic moonroof. So please recommend a product to have on the cab. Is a single crossbar adequate or should I have two of them? And what would I use to mount the boat onto the crossbar maybe another Malone pad?

While we do have an option for you, we do not carry any saddle-style, flat style, or j-style carriers that are confirmed to fit the Yakima LongArm Bed Extender. This is because the 2" diameter of the LongArm is too thick for those carriers.
However, with that being said, if you are looking for more support than simply using the LongArm Pad # Y07417, I recommend using the Malone # MPG152. This kit comes with 2 18" foam blocks that have a contoured angle for your kayaks. The kit also comes with straps to secure your kayaks to the blocks/LongArm as well. You can also use the bow/stern ties to further anchor the rear of your kayaks to your vehicle.
For the front of your kayaks, you do need a roof rack system. In order to determine what roof rack system fits, feel free to respond to this answer with your cab type, and I will be happy to make a great recommendation with everything you need.
