Question:
What would be the least expensive option for a ladder rack on a GMC sierra 1500 Crew cab 5 foot 8 inch bed that has a bak flip bed cover on it?

Expert Reply:
The most reasonably priced and best option for compatibility with your BAKflip tonneau cover would be the Pro Series # A4000963 ladder rack from Adarac. The rack mounts to the tops of the bed sides via the stake pockets, and won't interfere with the tonneau cover which mounts to the inside edge of the bed sides. Because the ladder rack uprights are perpendicular to the bed sides rather than angling in toward the inboard side of the bed, the rack will allow the tonneau cover to completely fold open without getting in the way.
I've linked to a demonstration and an installation video for you.
