According to Yakima, the 68 inch HD crossbars would be too short, you'll need to use the 78 inch bars. The bars and the Yakima BedRock Towers are sold together in a kit as part # Y01160-59. The rack will have a 300 lb capacity, and you can see an installation video by using the provided link.

Because the Retrax PRO MX Tonneau Cover #RT80467 for the 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 covers the bed rails, you would not be able to use a ladder rack like the Thule TracRac #TH27000XT since that rack requires the use of the bed rails. The only tonneau…
