It looks like the 2008 GMC Sierra 1500's have a 6-1/2' bed so the correct part is the Base Rails for Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Racks item # TH21501.

The Base Rails for Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Racks item # TH33JV you referenced are slightly longer for 6-3/4' bed lengths.
