I'd be happy to help!

We have 1 retractable tonneau cover that fits the 8' bed on your 2008 Ford F-450 and it comes with 2 different styles of rails that sit on top of your bed side; your options are the RetraxPRO MX # RT80323, which is the standard rail version, and the RetraxPRO XR # RTT-80323 which has t-slotted rails for mounting crossbars or a ladder rack as well. These are manual covers and it doesn't look like Retrax offers an electric so you'll be using a manual unfortunately.

I personally like the XR because it opens up more opportunities for carrying cargo. You can get a ladder rack on the MX but your options are a bit more limited since the tonneau rails sit on top of the bed rails. If you're in the market for a ladder rack or you might be in the future I recommend checking out the Yakima OverHaul HD # Y01151-5855 which mounts to those t-slot rails, has height adjustability, contoured uprights to fit the style of truck cabs, and a variety of accessory options that make is a very versatile solution.

Attached is a review video of the MX so you can get an idea of what the cover is like, and a video of the OverHaul HD on a Silverado 3500 so you can see what the cover/rack combo looks like together if you're interested.
