Product was exactly as described. One bolt was missing but the manufacture quickly sent out a full parts bag. Shipping was quick. Always great service with etrailer.
I purchased this kit to install new 5th wheel rails for my 5th wheel on my 2021 Ram 2500. At first it was kind of scary. the thought of drilling holes in my truck bed was nerve racking. What if I drilled the hole in the wrong spot. The directions that came with the rails made it very easy to do. It took me about 3 hours to do the job by myself. I will say if you can have a 2nd person to help it makes it easier.

These rails are still doing g their job. No problems
Fitment of the drivers side front bracket and the passenger rear carriage bolt stop this from 5 stars but only because they are a serious pain to get installed. Good quality and very rigid once installed.
I purchased the B&W Custom Installation Kit and Bed Rails. I was aprohensinsive about installing it myself but I am half way through installing it and it has been really straight forward with no problems. I think I am going to be really pleased this product.
Already installed the next day!
In all, this was a painless order. The shipping was not only free, but quick. The heavy hitch was delivered by a semi tractor trailer in good order and condition.
I would say it was about 6 hours to install, including careful reading of instructions. The video was very helpful and I would watch it. To get a torque wrench on the front right bracket I had to take off the tire to swing the torque wrench.
By following the directions, the install went smoothly. And it looks nice too!
Bravo.
Great product, and excellent support; very happy. It took me a little over 4 hours to install, but if you have a good helper and a lift it could be done in half that time.
The instructions weren’t great, but the YouTube video was extremely helpful, be sure and watch it first.
An impact is highly recommended and some extensions were necessary to reach the driver side front brackets.
Straight forward install. I've had it in my RAM 2500 for a year now and have pulled my camper for around 7000 miles in that time and have had zero issues with the mount.
Shipping was as expected, product arrived in good condition. Directions were clear and easy to follow. The installation video on etrailer.com was of great help and it was nice tool to have.
ISR bed rails installation has/is performing well - as advertised. I have the anderson ultimate 5th wheel hitch installed on these rails. The only negative comment i have is 'soft' lock washers provided with the hardware. They began to 'mushroom out' when I torqued bolts to specification. Otherwise would have been 5 stars
Product is good however the instructions are not only wrong but mis-leading. Thank good for Tractor supply. The hitch works great!
good price fast shipping heavy duty pac kaging

Love it perfect fit just like customer service said great instructions no issues
We have had our B&W The Patriot Slider now for a year, we had the dealer install for us and we can't be any happier with it. We get minimal noise from it, and coupled with the Trailair Rota Flex that already came on our new to us 5th wheel we get minimal herky jerky movements. The hitch came as promised in minimal time frame, we will definetly continue to use etrailer for major items such as this.
Great buy! Solid and have served me well
Ordered my hitch on Monday and received it Wednesdaytje same week. Great!

Great
I was on the fence on which tow system to buy. Hands down the BWRVK2602, was no competition We will be setting it up on our 2018 2500 Ram. The package arrived and upon opening saw the fit and finish on all the pieces. A huge help is the video available to show exact steps to get all this mounted. I will be back to get all my brake controller parts. Thanks so much Nick C. for all the help.

When it promised to be good and it is, then I am very happy. To date it is flawless
Super HD rails brackets, the brackets bolt directly to the frame with existing factory nuts.
No cutting or grinding, just some holes to drill. I did all the work on the my Cummins
Dodge 2500 4x4 on the ground with no lift. If you have the right tools and mechanical
Ability, Takes about 5 hours to install. Great fit and extremely strong. Would highly re-
Commend this product.

Everything is still solid , I pull a 16,500 5th wheel trailer and everything still working great. No rust on painted surfaces , thank for building good stuff.
good quality hitch everything fit perfect and works good
Rails and support brackets fit perfectly on my 2018 RAM 2500. Video was spot-on in every detail of what to expect, thus I had no surprises awaiting me during my install. I had it all done in less than 3 hours. Thanx for the great installation video and product.

Still works and is intact - no complaints
The team worked with me to get the missing hardware from the manufacturer. Would reccomend.

Ive used my hitch six times in the last year and had zero issues. The approach plate has rusted some but that was from towing another unit without a pin cover. I mention this so others know the importance of having one to prevent metal on metal contact. I installed this unit myself and torqued everything to spec, nothing has come loose. If youre reading this to determine if you can do it yourself, just do it. Its slow and Id give the difficulty 35 but by no means impossible. Just be thorough when measuring where to put the holes in the bed and make sure the fuel lines arent touching, which is a matter of pulling the clips off and repositioning the hoses

Installed this kit on my sons 2021 Ram 2500 and he uses it almost daily in his work as a contractor, pulling a goose neck trailer. He also uses it to tow his fifth wheel camper. Likes the interchanability of the tow heads as a convenient fast option. He had the fifth wheel and gooseneck heads from his previous truck.
installed myself very easy
Easy install was the main thing about this kit and it proved to be very easy to install. Make sure you use a small bit for pilot holes as I had to move the rails about a 1/2 inch forward of the first pilot holes after loosely installing the brackets on the frame to ensure everything lined up. Would recommend this kit over any other, I've installed the Universal Style before and would never do it again. Spend the extra money and buy this set over the Universal and don't waste money on the overpriced ones.
Along with the air springs I also purchased the Patriot 18000lbs 5th wheel and the installation base rails, these products also installed very easily. I'm 63 years old and I installed everything with no help or lifts of any kind.
Thank you for another great product.
Order a B&W 5th wheel hitch with the rails package. All was delivered on time and notices to my email kept me up to date for the delivery date. Great job getting me my parts.
Fast shipping
