In order to mount the Demco 18K Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # DM8550022 in the bed of your 2011 GMC Sierra 2500 you will need to use the Underbed Rail and Installation Kit for Demco Hijacker Hitches part # DM8551010.

The Replacement Side Plates for Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # DM6004 that you referenced is designed to allow the above bed version of the Demco 18K Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # DM8550034 to be used with the underbed install kit.

For an in-bed wiring harness, I recommend the Demco 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness part # DM8555002 which will give you a 7-way trailer receptacle in the bed of your truck in addition to retaining the 7-way trailer receptacle on your bumper.

If you have only the Demco 6077, which refers to just the 18K Hijacker Head Assembly # DM6077, you'll need the Side Plates # DM6033 to mount it directly to those factory pucks in your F-250.
