I'm liking my bed rails more and more...since I don't care or need a flat bed when the hitch is removed. I used the Curt custom brackes with a heavy plate bolted to the frame on each side with 3 large bolts. Then the plates meet under the bed rails and support the rails with the spacers so the bed doesn't crush. Very robust design.
underneath the bed rail pictures. If you look closely you can see the top spacers
Very nice! And if you get one of These and you can haul a gooseneck trailer if you ever need one.
I like the idea of a flat bed... but my friends and my dad who haul fivers use the bed rails. We have used their trucks for many different things... The rails have NEVER got in the way or prevented us from loading something.
Plus they are really handy tie off points.
Thanks!

IMHO any type or rail left in the bed is a PITA if you use your truck to haul things on a regular basis. That was a driving force to change to the B&W Turnover Ball on my 98 RAM.
