Question:
Can I safely transport/secure two SUPs 12foot and 106inch using the DTA944-968-924 with my 2013 Chevy Silverado Long Bed Crew Cab 8 i.e., stacking them on top of each other?

The Darby load extender and single roof rack bar # DTA944-968-924 can handle the 2 paddleboards but you will need a paddleboard carrier as well to safely secure and protect the boards.
The Thule SUP Shuttle # TH811XT has a good price and holds 2 boards up to 34 inches wide. Only the SUPDawg, # Y04075, can handle wider boards and it maxes out at 36 inches. These carriers also include tie downs to secure the "bow" and "stern" of the boards.
I have included video links to all of the parts above.
