If you are planning on using the Erickson Truck Bed Ladder Rack # EM07708 everyone once in awhile then it will serve your intended purpose well. However if you will be using it frequently (even every weekend) I recommend using a more permanent option like part # DZ95053. This allows you to keep the base of the rack installed so that you aren't wearing out the hardware.
We also have options like the Detail K2 Flip Rack # K2TFR150 which folds down and out of the way when not in use. This would be a great way for you to keep from installing and uninstalling the ladder rack everytime that you want to use it.
