Transporting Kayaks by Truck

My situation, I have a 4 door GMC Sierra with a low profile toolbox so my bed isn't all that big. My wife and I have two 12' Tarpon kayaks. Currently we are putting them on top of her SUV, but looking for something easier for my truck. Got any suggestions?

If it's impossible to strap them down in the bed, get a truck bed extender.

Bed extender will be fine for length and weight.
I know a dude that hauls a Tarpon 160 in a Tacoma with extender, no problems.

Yeah, those T-extenders that fit in to the trailer hitch are money.
You can also turn them up where the boats ride up high so you can put stuff in the bed.
Maybe someone can post a pic.

I saw someone who welded a rack to stack two kayaks that slid in the bed of his truck and connected to his receiver hitch. You slid one kayak into the "frame" and strapped the other kayak onto the top of the rack/frame.
The problem I found is that there isn't enough space between the wheel wells to put them side to side. So you either need to put them on the side or stack them.

Sorry for the hijack, but I didnt want to start a thread.
Has anyone tried installing a rack on a car for transporting a 12' kayak?
