I have a great solution for you. Unfortunately, Thule does not make a low-profile rack that will work with the Base Rails for Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Racks # TH21610.

However, a great low-profile solution is to use the Thule Roof Mounted Top Rack System - 60" Long # THTB60 track system. For this route, you will also need the Fit Kit for Thule Podium-Style Roof Rack Feet - 3101 # THKIT3101 and the Rapid Podium Feet # TH460R. From here, you will be able to add the Thule WingBar Evo - 60" # TH711520 (black) or # TH711500 (silver).

With this system, you will have crossbars that sit about 4 inches above your truck's bed. In addition, you will get the advantage of positioning the crossbars anywhere along the tracks. You may need to cut the 60" tracks in order for it to fit your bed's length. There is drilling required for installation of this system.
