Default Bed Extenders???

I have a few questions about bed extenders. I was looking at the ones on the mopar website and they look pretty good but does anybody know if they are easily removed. I was looking at another brands extender and they have easy release clips so that the mouinting part stays on and you can easily remove the extender. Also where does it mount to, does it use the holes from the tie down point? Does the extender in the folded out position go all the way to the end of the tailgate? Last thing is how much norrower is the bed with the extender installed. I know it is atleast twice the diameter of the tubes but is it much more then that?

I like the westin brand that I got, comes out w/ one hand. It also has slick, littlesecuring straps that clip into the tailgate latches.The extender is a few inches narrower than the bed. I had to drill to install. there is a mopar one similar to this, it may not require drilling. These are the flip in/flip out style; they do not fold up. Very handy. around $200shipped.

I am selling one that will fit your truck on ebay, the link is below. As described, it does not include the two clips to attach it to the truck. I am amazed that this hasn't sold yet, seeing it is practically new and less than half the price for a new one. You can get the brackets from Steel Horse or any other similar bed extender company. If you want, I will get them and just add the price to the shipping costs.
