Helpful Expert Reply:

For your 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a Retrax XR tonneau cover, I recommend the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Rack, part # Y01151-58, with the Retrax XR Tonneau Cover Adapter Kit for Yakima OverHaul HD, part # Y01155. This ladder rack has an adjustable height and comes with 68" crossbars. They have T-slots, allowing for a wide range of accessories.

For your kayak carrier, I recommend the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier, part # e98878. Since it’s a J-style carrier, it will allow more room on the rack for your bikes.

For the bike carriers, I recommend the Swagman Upright Bike Rack for 1 Bike, part # S64720. It's a frame-mount bike rack that takes up about 10"-12", so you should be able to get 4 bikes on the crossbars (at least while the kayak and its carrier aren't loaded). As for carrying all of this at the same time, I can't guarantee that. You'll have to experiment with the positioning to see if you can do everything at once.

I've linked to video reviews of these parts below.
