The semi-custom brackets in this kit mount beneath the bed to create sturdy attachment points for the fifth wheel rails. Each L-bracket is 0.391" thick—right at 3/8"—providing solid support and reliable strength for towing setups. The combination of semi-custom and universal brackets gives a secure foundation while still keeping installation straightforward.
The visible base rails have a gloss finish that matches most hitches for a neat, integrated look in the bed. These above-bed rails sit flush and provide the standard mounting points needed for your fifth wheel hitch, making it easy to set up and remove as needed without sacrificing bed space or appearance.
These rails work with hitches from Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Reese, Valley, and Husky. The industry-standard pattern means you get flexibility to use different brands or keep using the hitch you already own. It’s a straightforward way to build or upgrade your towing system without being locked into one brand.
This installation kit includes the base rails, semi-custom and universal brackets, plus all necessary mounting hardware. With just some drilling required, it gives you all the components needed to mount your fifth wheel hitch securely and get towing without having to track down extra parts.

Great product.
There’s some thought that you need to do when installing the rails. The instructions are not really clear and you need to study them carefully. The help line phone number is there on the instructions and they were helpful. In conclusion the Curt rails are a high quality product and they do what they were designed to do.
