I went with the UNITA system. Tie down anchors are stainless steel, not plastic like Mopar OEM. Believe it comes with four tie down anchors

Extra tie down anchors if needed.

I put these on mine, this time around. They are not cheap, but equal or better than the Mopar Rails for a little less money.

I put these in when I bought my RLD cap. They are made from unistrut without all the mounting holes that come in the off-the-shelf strut from Home Depot. These are well made, installed perfectly, and are heavy duty STEEL. Not thin aluminum or plastic. Super cool thing is all the Unistrut accessories like Tnuts, screw eyes, mounting hardware are available at the corner building supply or Amazon without paying custom hardware prices.

Mine only didn't have them either. But I found at the time (2 years ago) that the MOPAR trail rail system was cheaper than aftermarket options.

 

[Mr._Bill]

One thing to consider is whether or not you will be installing something, like a bed cap, that requires Mopar compatible Rails.

I bought Mopar rails off Amazon.

Unistrut for the win. Low cost and able to slide in some cone nuts to do whateveryou want with. I had one small section I had to cut out for the bolt to go through. Slap some fender washers on there and you're golden.

I found the mopar trail rails new in box on fb marketplace. Always keep your eyes there if you can.
