Very good quality product. I have a 2023 Ram 3500 Shortened. The fit needs some work as when I used the dimensions provided the rear bolts on the front rail wouldn't clear a bed channel without a lot of finesse. This should be reviewed and corrected. It turned what should have been a 2 hour install into a 5 or six hour install. It is now so tight I have trouble removing and replacing my Andersen Hitch.

I received product earlier than expected !! Product is very good quality ! I will be installing this weekend and will follow up



by:

Good product fit well Heavy Duty got most of the bolts in and torqued took a good amount of time and took it to a mechanic for a couple bolts I didn’t have the tools for, if I did it again I would pay for a shop to put it in, but it’s a well made and good fitting product



by:

Perfect for my needs and installation was a breeze. If these guys sell it you need to seriously consider buying it from them. Customer service, installation and mailer can’t be beat

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit for Using B and W Patriot Slider in Bed of 2013 Dodge Ram 2500 Short Bed
    To use a B and W Patriot Slider fifth wheel hitch part # BWRVK3270 in your 2013 Dodge Ram 2500 short bed the correct rail kit is the part # BWRVK2605.

  • Fifth Wheel Towing with 2016 Ram 3500 Equipped with Ram Boxes
    The problem isn't with the hitch fitting, the problems are that the 5th wheel's pin box strikes the sides of the bed during turns. The only way a fifth wheel hitch can be used in a Ram Box equipped truck would be to use a Reese Sidewinder. The sidewinder moves the pivot between the trailer and the hitch from where the king pin and hitch jaws meet to where the pin box attaches to the 5th wheel. This moves the pivot point 22 inches rearward, preventing the pin box from hitting the sides of...

  • Can The Demco Recon 5th Wheel Hitch Work In A 2016 Ram 3500 Short Bed
    Hi Troy, While the Demco Recon 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550045-5W will technically fit/mount in the bed of your 2016 Ram 3500, I don't recommend it. Having a short bed means the pivot point for the trailer it closer to the cab which means you could accidentally hit the cab with the nose of the trailer when making a tight turn. Instead you'd really want a sliding 5th wheel hitch like the B&W Patriot # BWRVK3270. This hitch requires base rails # BWRVK2605 in order to mount so you'd...

  • Recommended Base Rail Kit For A Curt Crosswing 5th Wheel Hitch In A 2014 Ram 3500
    The Curt Crosswing # C86JR is compatible with ISR rails so is a multitude of options for your 2014 Ram 3500 with a 6-1/2' bed. If you have just a standard bed you'll want the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2605. This rail kit has custom fit brackets that require no drilling into the frame to install, which will save a ton of time and frustration. If you have an underbed puck system you'll need the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch...

  • Recommended B&W 5th Wheel Install Kit for a 2013 Ram Mega Cab
    I believe the Mega Cab was only offered on the 2500 and 3500 models so I will assume that is what your 2013 Ram is. If that is the case then you can choose between the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # BWRVK2605 which is a custom fit kit that does not require any drilling into the frame or a universal kit like you asked for that requires drilling into the frame, the B&W Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part...

  • 2019 Dodge Ram 3500 with 6.5 box with Ram Boxes
    The challenge presented by the Ram boxes is the inside bed width (or lack thereof). During turns, especially while cresting a rise or going through a dip, the edge of the pin box can strike the inside edge of the top of the bed side and damage it. Additionally, the narrow width of the bed will usually interfere with the operation of the hitch latching handle. The only surefire solution we're aware of is twofold. You'll want to use a Reese Sidewinder Replacement Rotating Pin Box on your...

  • Where to Place Rear Rail of B and W Above Bed 5th Wheel Rail Kit 2021 Ram 2500
    Yes, the correct rear rail edge to rear of truck bed dimension when installing the B and W Rail kit part # BWRVK2605 in your 2021 Ram 3500 is 26-9/16 inches like you mentioned. They got the dimension slightly off as they typically would just call it 6-1/2 foot length bed which is why the numbers aren't exact.

  • Recommended Sidewinder Pin Box to Replace a Curt Rota Flex 1621
    Yes, you can replace a Curt Rota-Flex 1621 Pin Box item # LC328329 with a rotating turret. Since you have a 2021 Ram 3500 w/ Ramboxes this is the only way you will be able to tow a 5th wheel trailer. To add a rotating pin box to your 2022 CrossRoads Aire CR32BH, I recommend the Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret item # RP34FR. The Reese Sidewinder fits both the Lippert 1621 an 1621HD pin box. Not all 5th wheel hitches are compatible with a rotating pin box. If your...

  • Custom Installation Brackets for Industry Standard Rails on a 2022 RAM 3500 w/ Rambox
    The B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches item # BWRVK2602 are custom rails that are meant to minimize drilling and install time but still may require you to drill. They are meant for the Ram 2500's not the 3500's. Our information that we get from B&W says this rail kit will fit models with factory Air Suspension system. These industry standard rails will work with the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch item # BWRVK3255. For your 2022 Ram 3500 we have a set of...

  • How to Install a Hijacker 16k 5th Wheel Hitch in a 2017 Ram 3500
    There's three options to mount a Demco Hijacker 16k 5th wheel hitch in the bed of your long bed 2017 Ram 3500. Which one you need will depend on the legs your 5th wheel hitch has and whether or not your Ram has the factory tow package. I have listed the options below: Industry Standard 5th Wheel Rails - B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails item # BWRVK2605 Demco's Underbed System - Underbed Rail and Installation Kit for Demco UMS 5th Wheel Hitches item # DM8551006 Dodge OEM Puck...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a Reese Sidewinder Pin Box on a 2022 Ram 3500 w/ Rambox
    For your 2022 Ram 3500, I recommend using the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 18,000 lbs item # BWRVK3255. This hitch has an 18,000 lbs capacity and is compatible with B&W Rails item # BWRVK2605 and the Reese Sidewinder item # RP34FR. The hitch height is 16" - 19". The Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret item # RP34FR you referenced is compatible with your Lippert 1621HD pin box.

  • Will Curt CrossWing 5th Wheel Hitch Work on 2016 Ram 3500 with RamBox
    I do have an option for you but the issue with the RamBox is that the pin box will hit the bedsides when tuning which is why you need to move the pivot point back further towards the tail gate. Therefore, you only option for fifth wheel towing involves a stationary hitch and rotating pin box. There is no way to lock the pivot point using the Curt CrossWing Lightweight 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C86JR so this won't work. Instead, I recommend the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part...

  • Weight of B&W Patriot 16K 5th Wheel Hitch BWRVK3200
    If you intend to purchase a 5th wheel trailer that has a Revolution or Sidewinder pivoting pin box for use with your 2013 Ram 2500 short bed then you will not need a sliding-type hitch and can use a fixed hitch of your preference. However, the excellent B&W Companion 20K hitch # BWRVK3500-5W, which mounts using the gooseneck install kit # BWGNRK1313-5W, is not compatible with any type of pivoting pin box. You are correct that B&W makes a serious product. Their 5th wheel hitches are produced...

  • Will a B&W Companion for the Ram Prep Package Work with Rotating Pin Boxes and my Ram Box Bed?
    To keep your fifth wheel from hitting the bed rail sides or Ram Boxes you are going to get that clearance from where the pin box is mounted in the wing plates on the camper itself you can raise or lower it to achieve the clearance you need for those Ram Boxes. You can also adjust your head in the Companion upwards by changing where the pivot arms are bolted in (see video below) at the 1:50 mark. We recommend at least 4" if not closer to 6 or 7" of clearance. If your are close to the 4"...

  • Can Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch Be Used With Sidewinder Pin Box
    I have another option but unfortunately neither the Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch or the B&W Turnover ball gooseneck hitch are compatible with a rotating pin box like the Reese sidewinder you mentioned. Instead I recommend using the B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BWRVK3400 which will install into the B&W Turnover ball already installed on your 2017 Ram Short Bed, and will give you 12" of front to back travel for additional clearance when making...

  • Will B&W Base Rails on 2014 Ram 3500 Work with Hensley TS3 and BD3 5th Wheel Hitch
    The B&W Custom Installation Kit # BWRVK2605 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2014 Ram 3500. This kit features industry standard, above-bed base rails that will work with most fifth-wheel hitches on the market. Based on my research, both the Hensley TS3 and BD3 Air Ride 5th Wheel Hitches are designed to fit industry-standard base rails, so either option will work perfectly with the B&W kit on your truck. I have attached an installation video for this kit on the 2013...

    While the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, # BWRVK2605 is the correct kit for your 2019 Ram 3500, it will not fit with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch, # BWGNRK1320 that you already have installed. They each mount using the same hole locations. I recommend you use the B&W Turnoverball set up and add the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # BWRVK3500-5W.

  • Can Replacement Brackets And Hardware Be Purchased To Reinstall Base Rails
    Unless you know the actual make and model number of the rails it's honestly best to just replace all of the parts with a new kit to avoid any fitment issues since brands are not cross compatible and some models won't work with others under the same brand. You can still purchase replacement parts if you can determine the model number though. If you do want a complete kit then I recommend the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2605. This custom-fit...

    The Reese Universal Base Rails # RP58058 can technically fit your 2019 Ram 3500 short bed if you use the Universal Installation Kit # RP30439, but since this requires you to drill holes in your truck frame I recommend using the B&W Custom Installation Kit # BWRVK2605 because it still gives you industry standard base rail connections and you don't have to drill into your truck frame. As of right now (March 2020) Reese doesn't have a custom bracket kit for the standard base rail system so...
