Features to know about

Simplified Install: Semi-Custom Brackets Do the Hard Work

This Curt semi-custom installation kit makes mounting your fifth-wheel hitch straightforward. The brackets mount beneath the bed to create strong attachment points for the above-bed rails, giving you a solid base without needing a fully custom setup. The kit includes the gloss-finish base rails, semi-custom brackets, and all necessary hardware, so you have what you need right out of the box. Some drilling is required, but the semi-custom design keeps the process simple and secure.

Flexible Hitch Setup: Industry-Standard Rail Spacing for Popular Brands

The base rails use the standard fifth-wheel mounting pattern, so you can run hitches from Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Reese, Valley, and Husky. That flexibility means you can easily pair the kit with your current hitch or swap to another down the road without replacing the rails.

Clean Look and Lasting Finish: Gloss-Coated Rails Stay Sharp

The visible rails have a smooth gloss finish that blends well with your truck bed while resisting corrosion and wear. It’s a clean, durable look that matches Curt’s solid build quality and keeps your setup looking good through years of towing.
