Yes, we do! To add a sliding ladder rack to the 8' bed of your 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 you will want the TruXedo Elevate Truck Bed Rack System item # TX66NV. This ladder rack has a 500 lbs on road capacity and a 200 lbs off road capacity. The crossbars have an adjustable height of 18" or 28".
I have linked an installation video below to help you get it set up.

Similar to the original poster, I have a 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 HD Denali Long bed (8') that came with a factory-installed Rev hard folding tonneau cover. I would like to install the TracRac SR sliding ladder rack on my truck but I cannot locate the specifications for the width between the rails anywhere. The outer edges of the tonneau cover weather seal on my truck are 64" apart in width. I have verified that the top of the truck bed has about 4" available except towards the tailgate where the shape tapers a little, which would mean the 4" rails for the TracRac SR would overhang a bit, but I'm reluctant to order something that doesn't allow for enough adjustment to ensure it will work with the tonneau cover I already have. The second problem is the hardware instructions for the TracRac SR show a bolt through the stake holes at the back by the tailgate. My truck does not have any bolt holes or grommets in the rear stake holes, so I'm assuming drilling would be required? Please advise if anyone else had to drill to install the TracRac SR on the late model year Sierra trucks (with or without also having a tonneau cover) please. PS - The reason I want the TracRac SR is because it's superior in load bearing to the Truxedo sliding ladder rack and it also offers the cantilever front extension, which I might need for my longer ladders and aluminum planks. The clamp-on style racks won't work with a tonneau cover (which some of us use to keep our tools out of the weather) and their load bearing is less certain than a stake-type of rack IMO. Thank you!
