The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH57RV would be a compatible fit for your Ram and for the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK448227. It unfortunately only comes with 69-1/2" crossbars, so it's 2-1/2" shorter than you were looking for. Out of the available options that are compatible with the MX4 this is longest crossbar option with the next size being 68".

If longer crossbars are a must then you could go with a Yakima OverHaul HD Ladder Rack, which has interchangeable crossbars. You can get 78" crossbars with these but you'd have to either get the model that isn't compatible with tonneau covers # Y01151-59 and go without or get the model that can slide into a t-slot and go with a different tonneau cover # Y01151-5955. If you want to go with the t-slot style mount then you'd need a cover like the Pace Edwards JackRabbit Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover w Explorer Rails # PE45CV.

If you want to think it over a bit and let me know what you think we can keep discussing options to get you what you need.
