This kit installs in about half the time of a universal system thanks to custom brackets that line up with existing holes in the frame. You only need to drill where the rails attach through the bed, so there’s less work and no guesswork. The brackets mount beneath the bed to create solid attachment points for the above-bed rails, giving you a strong and clean foundation for your fifth wheel hitch.
Everything you need comes together in this kit—custom brackets, base rails, and all required hardware. The visible rails have a durable gloss finish that matches most hitches and gives your setup a polished look once installed. Having all the components designed to work together ensures a secure fit and dependable towing performance.
These above-bed base rails follow the industry-standard pattern, so you’re not locked into one brand of hitch. They’re compatible with fifth wheel hitches from Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Reese, Valley, and Husky. That means you can use your existing hitch or change brands later without replacing the rails.
