# DM8550035 will fit all industry-standard rails, including those from B&W, Curt, Demco, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley. All you have to do is bolt on the side plates and attach the head to the hitch base. If you have any of these industry standard rails then the hitch will fit your truck.

The side plates have 2 functions. They contain the feet that fit into your above-bed rails, and they allow you to raise or lower the hitch head to better match your pin box height. After you choose your desired height setting, simply bolt the side plates to the hitch base with the included hardware. Then attach the base to the rails with the included safety pins.

I have product videos attached to this help page.
