The present disclosure provides a fir tree coupling for gas turbine engine parts comprising a load beam having a longitudinal axis, a base, a first side, and a second side, a rail extending from the base of the load beam between the first side and the second side, a tooth running parallel to the longitudinal axis disposed on the first side of the load beam. The rail may comprise at least one of, a convex sidewall having a convex curvature, a concave sidewall having a concave curvature, or a vertical sidewall extending perpendicular to the base. The rail may comprise a sidewall comprising a sidewall step wherein the sidewall has a step cut into a portion of the rail. The rail may comprise a tapered sidewall wherein the tapered sidewall extends at an angle to the base.
