No Scott. Ladder is completely independent of rack. It simply hooks on the top of the tailgate, and uses existing bolts under the number plate light assembly, as does the Land Rover OEM ladder. Took me all of about 15 minutes to install.
One thing that the Frontrunner ladder has that I think is better than the OEM ladder, is a flat step / small platform at the top of the ladder, rather than just another tubular rung. Gives you something a bit more substantial to step on at the top, plus provides a bit better protection for the top of the tailgate and stops you stepping on the painted surface.
I do have the Frontrunner rack on mine, but the ladder would work equally as well with any style of roof rack.
