When you say dodge rails , do they mount on the Ram pucks? Also could you send me some pictures?

Thanks

The silver parts are rails, and the black the under bed frame mounts...capture plate upside down with all the hardware in it....the plate is set up for a lippert 1621shd pin, but can be adjusted for others

I'm glad to hear no problem with Reese Airborne Sidewinder, allot of people that don't own one say it puts to much stress on the couch frame with it's pivot point on the trailer. I thought I had a lot of problems at delivery but mine pale in comparison.

Sold my 2008 F-350 (short bed) and bought a 2016 F-350 (long bed) and kept the Airborne Sidewinder installed. I really enjoy this setup and very glad I went with this setup over a typical slider type hitch.

Did you lock it out? I'm going to try mine locked out for a couple trips
