• Can I Install My Valley 5th Wheel Hitch on my 2002 Chevy 2500 HD Short Bed With an Install Kit
• We do have an installation kit you can use. I would suggest using part # RP50064-58, it is a custom fit bracket kit with bed rails. You can put a Valley hitch in Reese or Hidden Hitch rails, but we do not suggest mixing manufacturers when it comes to frame brackets and bed rails. In order to make sure the frame brackets will bolt up to the rails properly, stay within the same brand. You will also need to use a slider with the 5th wheel on the short bed if you do not already have one. With out

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 with Factory Trailer Hitch
• The factory hitch on the 2004 Dodge Ram is welded to the bumper beam on the truck. The bumper beam is a round, curved piece of steel. In order to remove the factory hitch it would have to be torched off and you would not want to cut off any of the bumper beam. The heat from cutting off the hitch could still affect the bumper beam so it is not advisable to remove the factory hitch. I recommend going with a hitch that is designed to fit beneath the factory hitch, like # V82672 that you have ref
