Expert Reply:
If the Demco Hijacker 16k is the version that attaches to their underbed style rails like part # DM8550022 then the custom install kit you'd need is the part # DM8551005.
If instead the rails that the hitch installs in are the standard above the bed rails then the correct rail kit is the part # DM8552016-71. If you are unsure measure the distance between the mounting tabs on the hitch from front to back. If they are 22 inches apart you have the above bed style hitch. If not then you need the rail kit I mentioned first.
