For your 2011 GMC Sierra 3500 Crew Cab with a naked roof, the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack referenced in your question is indeed confirmed to fit the roof of your truck. This system consists of # RB1375 for the two 54 inch Heavy-Duty Crossbars, # RRRLKHD for the 2500 Series Legs, and # DK227 for the Custom DK Fit Kit.

This system will provide you with extremely durable aluminum crossbars with built-in C-channels for mounting Rhino-Rack, contractor-grade accessories. The bars themselves measure 1-5/8 inches wide and 1-7/8 inches tall.

I have attached a video demonstration on this roof rack and the written installation details that you can also take a look at.
