Hello Dan, thanks for reaching out. We do have an option for a tonneau cover/lumber rack combination for the 2024 Ram 3500 with the 8' bed. Take a look at the Pace Edwards JackRabbit Retractable Tonneau Cover w Contractor Rig Rack - Aluminum and Vinyl - Black # JED7936-CR4008. This includes the retractable tonneau cover and a heavy-duty ladder rack that will work great for carrying lumber or other heavier items. It has a 1,200 lb capacity so it can handle a lot of gear.

Hey Dan, how did the Pace Edwards JackRabbit cover and rack combo work out on your Ram 3500? That setup sounded like a solid match for hauling lumber. Your update could make it easier for others looking for the same solution.

@JesseM I can say this has been the 2nd worse purchase I've made, only closely following a truck that blew up a week after purchase. Rack doesn't fit without cutting 4 post that have the wrong angle. If not, they won't set level with the cover rails and the top won't work. Maybe better if it wasn't a tapered rear like the Ram. Wind noise is horrific. Designed a dam from diamond plate on front so much better. Motor is very finicky about weather. Now it isn't working and has nothing to do with weather. When it decides not to work you have to unload everything and crawl in bed and pull a release lever. Now that lever is stuck open and the top is locked in position with a motor that won't open or close. Now looking at having to remove the rack and pull system apart somehow. Wish I never bought this.
