Expert Reply:
We do not recommend mixing under bed brackets with above the bed rails from different manufacturers because they are not tested together and there could be some compatibility issues, though not likely.
Since you already have the Reese rails I would stick with the Reese brackets as well, # RP50081. These brackets come with the hardware to attach them to the truck frame but you will need to add hardware kit # RP58430 to attach the rails to the brackets. The old hardware, if you still have it, should not be used because it is meant to be torqued down only once.
