Check the manufacturer's sites.  I know Rhino and Yakima have tools to identify the racks that fit your vehicle.  Thule probably does, too, but I haven't looked.  It'll give you an idea of what's available.

If you have a shop in Coeur d'Alene (hint: Custom Truck) that sells or install racks, go see them.  They're the experts in this stuff.
