". . . a system to suspend it from the sealing on the side of the garage" I found 4 large screw-in hooks in the ceiling (for 17 and 18' kayaks) work very well. Make sure you drill holes into the roof joists, aligning the holes. Grab loops can be used for bow and stern with straps supporting the middle points, approximately at the bulkheads. You may find the kayak seats itself bottom down rather than sideways. With four points of attachment, especially the two middle ones, I have never noticed deformation, even though the boat is suspended sometimes for months. In my case, this is winter storage. I don't know about prolonged suspension in high heat.
