Helpful Expert Reply:
The correct underbed rail kit for your 2009 Ram 3500 so that you can use the Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550037 is the part # DM8551005. This is a custom kit for your truck which will help to reduce the aount of drilling and time needed to perform the installation, but we do still estimate a total installation time of around 4-1/2 hours. The brackets will mount to the outside of the truck's frame rails (where some drilling will be needed) and the crossmembers will sit along the top of the frame rails beneath the bed. All the needed hardware is included.
I have also emailed the complete installation instructions to you directly so you can see exactly what the process involves.
Pricing information will be listed on the product page.
