Question:
2017 Duramax Diesel. Want to get those dang rails out of my bed. Is there a conversion kit for the above bed rails to under bed?
asked by: David R
Expert Reply:
I definitely understand how the above bed rails can get in the way when your Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550034 is removed.
There is a way to convert your Hijacker # DM8550034 to underbed rails but you will need to install the Underbed Rail and Installation Kit for Demco Hijacker # DM8551010 and remove your current above bed rail system.
You can then use Replacement Side Plates for Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # DM6004 to allow your Hijacker # DM8550034 to install to the new underbed rails.
I included videos for all of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
