Helpful Expert Reply:
I spoke with my contact at Demco about the locking bars for your Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM8550038 on your 2016 Ford F-350 and I have a few options for you.
Since you are using the Demco Hijacker Autoslide Locking Plate # DM6036, they said the locking bars can either be opened up all the way and tightened to stay out of the way or completely removed.
