5th Wheel Installation Brackets for a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 Short Bed

Expert Reply:

Yes, the Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Custom Installation Brackets, # RP58386, will work for your 2009 Dodge Ram 1500, if you are installing a Universal installation kit like item # RP30035. I have included a link to the instructions below for both of these kits.

We also have Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Custom Installation Brackets, # RP50083-58, that will also work on your Ram, as long as it is not a Crew Cab model. I have included a link to the instructions for these brackets as well.

One of my associates drives a 2009 Dodge Quad Cab Short Bed and recommended a suspension enhancement system if you plan on installing a fifth wheel hitch. We currently have two suspension enhancement systems available for your 2009 Dodge Ram 1500. The first is the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, # TDR1500DS. Second is the Firestone Work-Rite Helper Springs - Rear Kit, # F4190. Both systems will improve braking, handling, and reduce tire wear.
