Question:
I am looking for a roof rack for a 2014 GMC Sierra double cab that can hold a spare tire. I saw 1 on Willies truck from Duck Dynasty would you have anything that would work for my truck?

We do offer several options in roof racks for the cab of your 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 double cab and these can be seen on the link provided. You have various options in the type of crossbars - round, rectangular and aerodynamic/elliptical types - which vary in their weight capacity and the amount of wind noise generated. Aerodynamic style bars are by far the quietest. A good example of this type is the Rhino-Rack system consisting of parts # RRVA150B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK377.
However, although we do offer many types of spare tire carriers - hitch-mount, bumper-mount and others - none is specifically designed for use on a roof rack. Most folks do not have the strength to - or do not want to - lift a tire that high up. All tire carrier options are viewable on the link provided for you.
In my opinion the best option would be a u-bolt frame-mount type, which also happens to be the least costly. You can use the other link to see these, which include for example, the 8-3/8-inch long # CE22007Z-11050-2 and the 12-1/4-inch long # CE22011Z-11050-2 from CE Smith.
It is a good idea to check your owner's manual for any guidance regarding roof weight carrying capacity.
