Question:

I'm looking to purchase a Demco 21k hijacker #DM8550038 for my 2018 Ford F350 short bed with a prep package. I will be using it with a Trailair. I was wondering if I need to get special locking plates or anything else and if so which ones? I was also curious about maintenance for it. What do you recommend/offer that would help maintain it? Also, I see the one I'm going to purchase is in stock. How long do you think it would take to get it?
