They are factory and only come with the Ram trucks that have the multi-function tailgate. Supposedly provide corner support and removing them allegedly voids the warranty.

This info comes from my buddy whose new truck has them and that is what the dealership told him. He wanted to remove them to install a retractable tonneau cover.

I guess I’ll leave them in. They supposedly have a bed cover designed taking in consideration of these brackets.
That’s what I needed.
