You'd want a sliding ladder rack like the Thule TracRac SR part # TH43003XT-501 which is a confirmed fit for your 2011 Ram 1500 6-1/2 foot bed. Since this installs through the top of the bed rails it will allow a tonneau cover like the BAK Revolver part # BAK64ZR to fit. It also allows you to move the uprights closer to match what you plan to carry better as well. Not all tonneaus can fit with this ladder rack but the Revolver does so it's your best option.
Then for a channel mount kayak carrier we have the Rhino Rack Nautic 581 part # RR581 that would work great. For a rod carrier that fits the TracRac top channels the Rhino Rack part # RRRMPHU would work great as well.
