Fitting ladder racks and tonneau covers together can be tricky. First of all they have to install in different locations and not interfere with one another. Then, once installed, they need to be able to work around each other and not make any contact that will in the long run damage either of them.

The TracRac SR Sliding Ladder Rack # TH43003XT-501 is the correct rack that fits your 2014 Ram 1500 with a 6-1/2 foot bed. The only tonneau cover that we've been made aware of to fit and function with the TracRac SR is the BAK Revolver X2 # BAK39213.

These two work together because the Revolver X2 sits further inside the bed rails of the truck than most other tonneau covers and therefore doesn't make contact with the tracks of the ladder rack. Most covers will rub against the tracks damaging both items. Also, folding racks will often make contact with the uprights of the rack when trying to fold them. Since the Revolver X2 rolls it doesn't have this problem.
