If you are looking for a truck cap or camper shell, I recommend the TracRac CapRac Ladder Rack for Camper Shell/Truck Cap # TH29200XT is you will be carrying heavy equipment or ladders. If you will be carrying accessories and want them to be compatible with carriers, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack System w/ 2 Vortex Aero Crossbars - Track Mount - Black - 59" Long # Y02-490B.

If you wanted to use the Thule rail system for a bed cap, I recommend the Thule Roof Mounted Top Rack System - 60" Long # THTB60 along with the Thule Podium Foot Pack for Aero Bars # TH460R along with the Thule Fit Kit for Podium Style Foot Pack # THKIT3101. You can determine the length of crossbars you need, but I recommend the Thule Square Load Bars # TH712500. With this system I also recommend the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 4 # TH450400.
