These semi-custom brackets mount beneath the bed to create secure attachment points for your fifth-wheel rails. They’re designed to line up with your truck’s frame for a strong fit, so you get the confidence of a stable towing setup. Some drilling is required, but the brackets give you a cleaner, more straightforward install than a universal kit.
Everything you need comes in one box—base rails, semi-custom brackets, and all the mounting hardware. The visible rails have a carbide finish that looks good and resists wear. Once it’s bolted down, you’ll have a solid foundation ready for towing right away.
The included base rails are made to match the industry-standard pattern used by most major hitch brands. That means you can use fifth-wheel hitches from Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Reese, Valley, or Husky without modification. It’s a flexible setup that fits your current hitch and gives you room to change later if you want.
