Yes, we do! The best one is going to be the Malone SaddleUp Pro Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs item # MPG110MD. The SaddleUp is perfect because it is a rear-loading carrier, so it will be much easier to get your kayak up on top than a side-loading saddle-style carrier. It has fabric covers for the rear saddles as well, which makes it simpler to slide your kayak into position.

The SaddleUp item # MPG110MD attaches to crossbars that are no larger then 3-1/2" wide x 1-1/2" tall so it'll work great with the Malone TradeSport Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # MAL55VR.

I have linked a review video below so you can see the functions of the SaddleUp demonstrated.
