If you have used the universal install kit # RP30035, the brackets are compatible with your new truck. If you used the custom frame brackets on your old truck, they are not compatible and will not work.
We offer the custom brackets for your 2011 model. Part # RP50066-58 includes the frame brackets, bed rails and hardware. If you only need the frame brackets and the hardware, use part # RP50066.
If you were going to reuse the universal brackets on your new truck, I would suggest going with a new hardware kit, part # 58164.
In case you no longer have them, I will provide links to the instructions for the RP30035 kit (see page 4 for the instructions relating to your vehicle) as well as instructions for the custom brackets, part # RP50066.
