Mounting a RTT to a Diamondback Bedcover- 2014 Silverado

I recently purchased a Tepui Autana Siberian Camo Roof top tent, and I wanted some incite on how to mount it to my Diamondback Bed cover SE. This bed cover is cool, because It can support up to 400 Pounds. My current plan is to use either one of the following rack systems Thule 460, Thule 460r, or Yakima Control Towers. One thing I have noticed with this cover Is that it has support bars that run across the center, and if I placed the racks feet closest to those I am not worried about the bedcover having a problem supporting the tent while in use.

My worry is what rack system would be abel to support this the best? I like the 460 and Control Towers because they give me the length to reach all the way across the bed cover and the price is cheaper then the 460r, but the 460r is about 6 inches shorter than id like, but this rack is supposedly the strongest?

If anyone has any input, advice, pics, or suggestions Id appreciate it.

Thanks,

JAM
 
I hope you've already figured things out but on the off chance you're still looking for some advice you can check out Last Line of Defense's youtube video for what he did - He has a Tacoma but the principle is the same.

I can't seem to post any links but if you look up Last Line of Defense he has a video called "ULTIMATE Truck Roof Top Tent Camping - CVT on DiamondBack Cover Glory - Toyota Tacoma Overlanding"
