I would suggest the tool bars Diamondback offers for our covers. The tool bars are very useful for mounting options. I however didn't like their riv nut design if you mounting equipment over 20-30lbs to them. If you are, you will need to upgrade those riv nuts to metal ones and not rubber. Once you do that, the tool bars can hold the weight of a high lift jack and traction boards. I also upgraded the gas springs on my cover for the end that the equipment is mounted to. This allows the cover to open effortlessly and stay up with the added weight. Went with the 160lbs ones. I know you stated you need the added room for your air planes, just know all of this equipment that is mounted and removable. So if you need the room, remove the equipment, then when you going on long trips up north, or offroading, then attach the equipment. This goes for the crossbin also, this is also removable.

Gas Spring
The gas springs needed for your DiamondBack cover depends not only on which cover you have, but also on your truck, cargo bed, which panel, and whether you have a cover-mounted accessory, such as a cab guard or rack system. It’d be best if you had the spring you’re replacing in front of you so...
