You are correct. The Lil Rocker was made by RBW. RBW was bought out by Hayes/ALKO and is no longer made. However, it is our understanding that the Lil Rocker will fit in industry standard above the bed rails. Take a look at the picture I have included that shows the measurements.

The mounting feet on the Lil Rocker will have to be spaced 10, 20-1/2, or 29 inches apart, side to side on center and 22 inches apart front to back to fit.

For the truck there are options for installation kits. For a universal kit that would require significant drilling into the frame to install you could use # RP30035. For a custom kit use # HT31404-686. Custom kits require much less drilling and are thus easier to install and take less time.
