[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1557966, member: 5381"] They were also 14ga.. I bent the plate in kind of a j shape. Dimensions were 5 x 1 1/2 and another leg down 1 1/2. The stakes are in a c shape. The bend radius matches the stake pocket for fairly tight fit. The stakes were welded to the rail to where where the top would be capped by the horizontal bend. They are strong and stiff but don't weigh but about 20 lbs each and are easily removed. They are pretty much like the ones you buy, just a little taller and have the angles for an adjustable bed space. I have been very pleased with them and get quite a few compliments. The 2 x6 directly behind the ball also helps with hookup. You can back up until you hit it, pull forward three inches and you will be over the ball if your alignment is right. [/QUOTE]
