Would this be wide enough to haul two kayaks side by side on it?

Hi I think you could fit a tandem if you space the hooks widely. We have one installed on the railing of our deck, and it is holding up fine so far. I would recommend getting a cover for the cockpit though, as I have heard of animals making a home in kayaks. Happy Kayaking :)

Yes, as it shows in the picture. The 2 straps hanging down are adjustable. Make sure you hang it high enough to store 2 kayaks.

The Suspenz website claims each position will support a boat up to 100 lbs. and 34 ins. wide. Since you can expand this basic frame up to six boats with installation of backside foot extensions and height extensions, the basic strength of this system should be adequate for most kayaks you might want to store. My first impression upon putting this rack together was that it was overbuilt.

Not sure why it wouldn't. We only have kayaks and this rack works great! Might have to get longer tie downs to compensate for the extra width of your SUP.

The kayak sits bottom down on this rack. Not sure how wide the top of you car is. I would think a rack that holds the kayak on its side might work better

No. It sounds like you are referring to "Side Rails" which run front to back of your vehicle (parallel to the Kayak). You will need Crossbars that run from Side-to-side (Perpendicular to Kayak). These racks straddle the cross bars.

I would not recommend placing the pulleys so close, if I was storing a kayak. My pulleys are over 6 feet apart, supports a larger kayak well, and can be single-handed.

I'm not 100% sure. They can be moved on the cross member, but I think the width of your kayak would be the determining factor.

I would think so, we have a 2002 and haul a larger kayak so one is the limit but if they are smaller it should work fine. Just make sure to check the weight limit on the cross bars. The glide and set is a great system.

A single kayak should be OK. I tried two and the bars flex too much and pushed the ends out so much they would not stay tight in the roof grooves. Anything more then that and I'd spend more for a better quality rack. It's cheap but gets the job done with limitations

Yes, we use it to carry our two kayaks. One kayak has to tip on its side a little to fit in the bed of the truck but the part of the kayaks that rest on the carrier is more narrow so it works perfectly. One of our Kayaks is 14' and the other is 12', they are pretty wide (not the narrow sea kayaks) but fit well on this carrier.

I could easily put two on my Toyota Siena ( currently using one) and carry my kayaks. I have factory roof racks with two cross bars,

You need to measure the width between your roof rack rails where attachment of this carrier can be mounted. Then add up your kayaks width to make sure you have sufficient room. The seawing is pretty wide. I got one on my rack (mounted in the middle) then needed two side mount carriers to get the other two kayaks up on top. Total weight of all kayaks was a concern. Make sure you check with the manufacturer to make sure you don't exceed the roof rack capacity. Like the SeaWing though, Real simple to install and use. A bit of movement (flex in the wing) while driving takes some getting use to. Malone was real nice to deal with.

It's all a matter of balance; with two people should work. Also would work best with a narrow kayak.

It's easily strong enough to hold a couple kayaks. Just tie them down. You'll be fine.

You should have plenty of room. The kayak wing has a universal attachment and comes with two sets of screws, long and short, and wing nuts. I used this one along with the attachment for the back which helps it slide on. It is a nice rack.
