The BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK48203 on your 2023 Ram 2500 short bed will work best with the Adarac Pro Rack System # A24JG, but unfortunately this doesn't have an over-the-cab piece.

If you really need that over-the-cab part then you'll have to get a different tonneau cover, and for that application I recommend the following combination:

- BAK Revolver X4s Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK64ZR
- Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Cantilever # TH43003XT-501EX

@RayR We have one combination that can work with the Fas-Top Tonneau part # FT63YV and then for a ladder rack # FT26MJ. The Ram Boxes definitely make it a lot more interesting to find a fit that covers both!
