Bracket Kit Recommendation for 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500HD For Older Style Demco Hitch
Published 10/04/2017
Question:
Hi I have the older hitch which I believe takes the dm6014 rails. I have the rails and hitch already just looking for the mounting brackets that mount directly to frame of the truck. It has the holes with the threaded s already there. Will the dm8552027 work?

I spoke with my contact at Demco about the hitch part number you provided in order to find the correct base rails to install in your 2005 Ford F-150. The FWH 24PA is the part number for the hitch head that fit older Hijacker 5th wheel hitches.
My contact at Demco confirmed that these hitches do not fit in Industry Standard Rails and require a particular rail kit, the Replacement Rails for Demco Hijacker 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, Older Models # DM6014. These above bed rails are designed for the older Hijacker 5th wheel hitches made before 2012. These are the rails you would have already.
The bracket kit then you'd need for a 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500 is the part # DM8552011.
