I just checked and Go Rhino doesn't make one that fits. But i checked on www.autoanything.com and they have a lot of selections that fit your truck. They're all made by Putco.

I don't think this is the style you are looking for, but I got aluminum diamond plate ones and sprayed them in bed liner. Looks real nice under my toneau cover. My bed was pretty dinged up on the rails when I purchased it and this makes it look pretty nice:

Are you looking for a role-bar that acts as a role-bar, or one that's only a light holder? The real role bar will need to be made out of good DOM tubing (your choice of diameter, but over 2" looks odd in my opinion) and will need to be mounted to the truck frame, so you'd need to get some mounting points welded to the frame and holes cut into the bed for the role bar (and it's trailing arms) to go through. If it's for looks only, you can get away with almost any type of tube (even thick exhaust pipe will work) and mount it directly to the truck bed. A real role-bar isn't cheap and you'd most likely need to find a fab-shop that had a tube bender (not a pipe bender) and have them make the bar & mounts that would fit your truck (they could even weld on the mounts), and the fake can be made by any exhaust shop that has a a proper tube bender (this is one that uses a die and gives you a smooth bend vs a crinkle bend), they can even weld it all together, including the flanges to mount to the bed and leave the painting to you. This would probably be cheaper than buying a generic "bolt-on".
