Can Old Single Pivot HiJacker Ultra Slide be Converted to the Double Pivot Head
Question:
I ordered the parts to convert it and that part went beautifully. I ran into a little problem though. I went to have the hitch rail installed and they said they do not have frame brackets to mount the rails to. The rails that I have mount with one bolt on each side ( 2 bolts per rail). Do you know if there is a frame bracket kit to mount the Hijack Ultra slide rails with for a 2016 Dodge Ram short bed 4x4?

It looks like you have and older version of # DM6076P-UL-16K. I spoke with my contact over at Demco and he said that you can indeed replace the saddle on your hitch with # DM5990 and the head with # DM6076 to have a double pivot head to your hitch. No other parts will be needed.

Thank you for answer my question. I have one more question, does the replacement head come with the dampeners and would I need anything else to do the conversion.
