By Yakima 50" streamline I'm guessing you are referring to the 50" JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 with the TimberLine Towers # Y00147 for raised rails on your 2015 Lexus RX 350.

This is compatible with the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 but you do need to make sure that you the crossbars extends 4" - 8" beyond the feet of the roof rack. You can guesstimate this extension by measuring the distance between the outsides of your raised rails. If you don't have this overhang then you may need to get the 60" JetStream bars which are available in Black # Y00426. These will fit to your vehicle with the same TimberLine Towers # Y33TR.

The Hullavator itself weighs in at about 40 lbs and takes up 28.5" of crossbar space. This means that you'd have to get pretty long crossbars and even at that 2 Hullavators basically cut your roof rack weight capacity in half.

I recommend using 1 Hullavator and then Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier and TelosXL Load Assist w/ Tie-Downs # MPG114MD-351XL for your second kayak as this would give you enough room to fit both kayaks comfortably.
