Truck Bed Ladder Rack That Can Transport 2 Kayaks On A 2019 Ram 1500
Question:
I really like your suggestion BUT there is one little detail that I forgot to say that looks like is a big issue. I have the Bak Bed Cover and I see that those clamps that attaches to the bed walls are going to interfere with the bed cover channels. Do you have any suggestion of a similar product that allows me to keep my truck bed cover installed?

I do have a solution for you to carry kayaks on your 2019 Ram 1500, but the Buyers Products Over-The-Cab Truck Bed Ladder Rack # 3371501410 isn't ideal for carrying kayaks as it does not have crossbars for kayak carriers to mount onto.
I highly recommend looking into the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 500 lbs - 68" Crossbars # Y01151-58. This has crossbars that are 68" long and has a weight capacity of 500lbs on road (300lbs off road) which is plenty for 2 kayaks. There are built-in tracks on top of the crossbars that allow many accessories to be easily installed or removed.
You could then mount 2 sets of the Malone SaddleUp Pro Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs for Truck Racks - Saddle Style - Channel Mount # MPG1001 onto the MaxxTow crossbars. This kayak carrier will slide into the crossbar's top channel so you will not have to worry about the MaxxTow upright bar getting in the way since it is not a clamp-on kayak carrier. The weight capacity is 90lbs per kayak; keep in mind this kayak carrier is for 1 kayak, so you will need a quantity of 2. I have attached demonstration videos for the MaxxTow ladder rack and the Malone kayak carrier.
