Expert Reply:
For your setup I recommend the TrackTowers for Yakima Crossbars and Platforms - Track Mount # Y52AV which includes everything you need to mount Yakima crossbars to your Retrax cover (unless you plan on using the Round or HD bars - then you'll need an additional adapter).
To mount the SkyLine Towers # Y53TR to your tonneau cover you would need the 2 of the Landing Pad 1 # Y00221 kits as well which is why I recommend the first kit I mentioned.
Most truck ladder racks use longer crossbars so for a complete setup I recommend the following:
- TrackTowers for Yakima Crossbars and Platforms # Y52AV
- 68" Yakima HD Crossbars # Y01158
- HD Bar SL Adapter # Y03541
- Lock Core Kit # Y07204 (optional)
