• There is not an adapter available at this time to install a fifth-wheel hitch using your Fold-Down Gooseneck Trailer Hitch, item # 8339. I have heard of people installing fifth-wheel rails along with gooseneck systems but this type of installation should be left to professionals that have experience installing both of the hitch systems. The best options we have for you is to remove the gooseneck system and use a custom install kit, item # RP50040-58, for a 2500 series without overload springs

• Installation rails are needed with the gooseneck hitch. For the Reese Fold Down Gooseneck Hitch, part # 8339 you would need Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation Rail Kit, # 4448. The rail system is what actually attaches the hitch to the truck frame. The truck bed itself is not strong enough to provide the only attachment point.
