Putting Kayaks on a truck roof

I have a 2005 Silverado 2500 crew cab, with a topper, that is level with the cab height. I'm considering buying kayaks that are in the 12-14' range, and was hoping I could find a roof rack for the cab of the truck only that would hold them.

I'd rather not have to buy a T bar to attach to a front receiver if I can help it. And I'd also like to avoid having to mount some type of bars to my topper.

My question is, can you recommend a roof rack system that i can carry 2 kayaks on just the cab?

Thanks,
Brian

    We use the Thule Hullavator system on the cab of our Chev Colorado crew cab for transporting our 14' double kayak. We love it. Easy to load and unload. Very secure. Pricey, but worth the investment in our opinion. We can get out and enjoy our kayak more, simply because this rack takes the grunt work out of the equation.
