Ladder Rack Recommendation for 2018 Ram 3500 with Bars Longer than 70 inches

Question

Question:

I have a 2018 Dodge Ram 3500 Crewcab longbed and Im looking to purchase a bed rack. I like the Thule #TH27000XTB but I would like it to have wider crossbars atleast 70inch wide. I believe this rack comes with 65inch wide crossbars. Can I order this rack and get it with wider crossbars? Or, do you have any suggestions? Thanks!
