One of the most popular truck cap ladder/roof racks that we currently have for your 2008 Chevrolet Silverado is the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack System # Y02-490B.
This comes with two Black 59" aero style crossbars that install on legs that can slide back and forth in the included track. These bars have a weight capacity of 220 lbs (or the weight capacity of your cap if it is lower) and can accommodate a wide variety of accessories.
To carry your kayaks I recommend using the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # S512. The J-Style carrier will fit perfectly around the aero crossbars and can be folded down for extra clearance when not in use. The extension arms # RRS512X allow you to carry 2 kayaks without having to install a completely new carrier as long as you don't exceed the 99 lb weight capacity.
I have attached some review videos for you to check out as well.

Thinking about purchasing Leer 100xr camper shell for my 2005 Ford F-150 Reg cab with 6’6” bed. Can the Rino-rack Areo Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells - Track Mount be mounted to the that camper shell?
