I went out to our warehouse to take a few measurements on the brackets that are included with the Demco Custom Mounting Bracket Kit # DM8553004 that you referenced.

The brackets measure 6 inches long and 6 inches tall, with a width of 2 inches. The distance between bolt holes, on center, is right at 1-1/2 inches. I have attached a diagram with these dimensions labeled that you can also take a look at.

This particular bracket kit is is designed to work with the Demco SL Series Base Rails # DM6012.

Will these brackets fit a 96 f250 with an eight foot box? Do you know where I could find the hardware for the dm6012?

For the SL Series rails the correct mounting kit for your 1996 Ford F-250 is part # DM8553005. For the entire kit including the base rails themselves and hardware you'll use part # DM8553005-12.

Since your 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 has such a short bed at 5-1/2 feet you are going to need a sliding hitch. The Max-turn technology will still not be able to give you enough clearance to make tight turns or back into spaces. You will end up damaging…

The Mor/Ryde pin boxes and the Trailair RotaFlex like part #LC176440 are pretty similar in how they cushion the ride. The Mor/Ryde is definitely more common out there on the road, but the feedback I've read on people who have tried both said they…
