The BackRack 30117 No Drill Hardware Kit is designed specifically for installation on RAM 1500, 2500, and 3500 models without the RamBox. Crafted with durability in mind, the hardware features yellow zinc plating for corrosion resistance, while the brackets are powder-coated to withstand harsh conditions.
Yes you have to cut a hole in the plastic that covers the stake pocket. The fit is perfect. The flat braces are a perfect contour over the plastic along the top of the bed. The mounts are heavy duty.
