• Are Firestone Ride Rite Air Helper Springs Compatible with the 5th Wheel Install Kit # RP50082-58
  
• You will need to check to see which Firestone Ride-Rite air helper springs are on your truck. If you have the system that mounts on the outside of the frame rail, like the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Rear Kit, item # F2071, a fifth-wheel installation kit will not work.

• Will The Reese Fifth Wheel Custom Installation Kit # RP50082-58 Fit On A 2011 Ford F250 Short Bed
  
• I checked with the manufacturer (Reese) to see if there are any differences on the frames on 2011 Ford Trucks. They said that there is nothing different about the frame in 2011, but if your truck is a diesel the DEF tank causes fit issues. The Reese Fifth Wheel Custom Installation Kit, # RP50082-58, will fit on your 2011 Ford F250 short bed as long as it is not a diesel model. A short bed will require a slider unit like the Reese 5th Wheel 16K Trailer Hitch with Round Tube Slider, # RP30075.

• Why NOT to Use Bed Bolts for Installing a 5th Wheel Hitch on a 2009 Ford F350
  
• The first reason you would not want to use the bed bolts to install fifth wheel hitch rails using truck bed bolts is because it has never been tested, so even if it could potentially work I could not safely recommend you do it. The next reason is, that while the truck bed bolts do attach to the frame, they attach to a portion of the frame that consists of relatively thin formed sheet hat channel, not thick structural channel or tube. This would crush under the weight of a heavy trailer. T

• When installing a fifth-wheel rail kit on a 2001 Ford F-350 Super Duty, there are different installation dimensions, depending on the manufacturer of the install kit, the type of install kit they produce, and the length of your truck bed. Reese produces two types of install kit for your 2001 Ford F-350 Super Duty, Universal and Custom install brackets.

• What 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kit Fits a 2005 Ford F-250 King Ranch 4 Door Diesel
  
• As long as your 2005 Ford F-250 has at least a 6-1/2 foot short bed there are options. But if you have a Super Crew with a bed less than 6 feet long, there can be some clearance issues. Given the shape of a most gooseneck trailers, the clearance problem may not be as bad between the cab of the truck and the front of the trailer as it would be with a 5th wheel. You would probably need to remove the tail gate when you tow the gooseneck on a bed shorter than 6 feet. The Reese Quick-Install

• 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Installation Kit for a 2012 Toyota Tundra Crew Max with 5-1/2 Foot Bed
  
• First, to determine if the 16K hitch is enough you will need to know the gross trailer weight. If it is rated under 16,000 pounds then you can use the Reese 16k, # RP30047. If it is very close to 16k or over, the I recommend going with a higher capacity hitch, # RP30081 rated for 20,000 pounds. We do have an installation kit that will fit the 2012 Toyota Tundra with 5-1/2 foot bed. You will use # RP30035-309.
