Andersen makes a rail mount version which is what I have. It's made of steel, weighs 35 lbs and works like a charm. My truck was a blank slate and I decided on rails based on strength, versatility and cost. I got a set of rails with custom mounts from etrailer for about $200 and the installation was easy.
