Just bought a revolution. Transporting using 2000 Tacoma extra cab and Yakima Dry Dock. The Dry Dock bar rests about 21 inches from the rear of the kayak and about 30 inches from the front. The suspended distance is about 101 inches (8ft 5 inches). Will this cause the hull to warp? Will this void the warranty?

As long as the hull is carried upside-down supported by the stiff rails... no problem. Otherwise in large cardles of some kind.
