I'd suggest etrailer.com

Here's a link  >> [a href="https://www.etrailer.com/s.aspx?qry=camper+tie-downs&furl=-pg-Camper_Tie~Downs"]tie-downs[/a] <<

I've ordered various things from them a few times and they've been great. Site is good -- they typically have videos about their products and how they are installed. The phone people are top notch. Real people who know their stuff and can help or know who can.

Is there something special about the 5.5? Wont the bed rails be the same as the larger beds, just shorter in length?

Can you tell us more about your truck? What year? Crewcab? Do you have running boards?

based on a quick google search I'm guessing the 6.5 foot bed mounts will work. However you will probably want to talk with a dealer to be sure.
