Why would you need a rack for the front of the kayak if it is resting in the bed of the truck and you have an extend a hitch for the back of the boat? Just tie the end of the kayak down to the bed. (which should probably be the back of the kayak not the front)

I like it in the bed with the extender much better; much easier to load and unload.

I know those tacos can have some pretty short beds . Especially with the double cabs. But like Raskal said much easier to load alone. I'm sure you could try to sell and buy or trade for the extend a hitch.

Cheaper vs the huge monstrosity of a field goal post plus roof rack...

The tailgate ext can be turned and used vertical. I bet yours can be turned and used horizontal.
