And it'll show you if this part will work for your application.Now, these 10 bolt base rails, these are what'll sit in your truck bed and provide the necessary attachment points for your fifth wheel trailer hitch. The universal brackets and the semi-custom bracket will mount beneath your truck bed to provide attachment points for your fifth wheel rails. The semi-custom bracket will basically install on the passenger side on the rail nearest the bumper that basically replaces one of the universal brackets.Now, these rails are compatible with hitches by Curt, Drawtight, Kid and Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley, and most standard fifth wheel hitches.

They will not fit the Reese Elite series or the Valley UBS hitches.These parts are all a sturdy steel construction with a nice black powder coat finish that helps resist corrosion. This kit will include everything shown on the table. The two base rails, the universal brackets, the semi-custom bracket, all the hardware you need to install it, and even a nice set of detailed instructions on how to install everything.But should do it on the review of the Reese Semi-Custom Base Rail and Installation Kit for fifth wheel trailer hitches on the Dodge Ram and Ram trucks.

Quality product. Great communication and very fast shipping



by:

Purchased a reese 16,000 lbs. fifth wheel to tow a 10,000 lbs. trailer. The product is duel jaw, and works great after a year of towing. I may recommend purchasing the movable mount if installing it in a 6.5' bed. Modifying the installment, I moved my 5th wheel rearward approximately 10" so as I met the cab clearance. Works perfectly.

Easy to install, the rails have handled everything I pull with it. Two skidloader a and a camper. Just wish bolts where grade eights



by:
2012 Dodge Ram Pickup

Great product and easy to follow direction. The only issue I ran into was getting the bolts through the frame on my 2012 Ram 2500. The provided wires to pull the bolts through were not long enough to reach the access hole in the frame. I had to tape the wire to an extension. Other than that, directions were spot on.

  • Semi-Custom Base Rail and Installation Kit for a 2003 Ram 2500 and a Husky Slider 5th Wheel Hitch
    We do have a semi-custom base rail installation kit for your 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 long bed, however, the Reese Semi-Custom Base Rail and Install Kit, # RP30035-023, that you referenced will not fit in your truck. This kit was designed for newer model Ram 1500 trucks. Instead, you will want to install the Reese Semi-Custom Base Rail and Install Kit, # RP30035-023, if your truck has overload springs, or # RP30035-186 if your truck does not have the overload springs. The base rails that are...

    There are a couple options for Reese 5th wheel base rails and installation brackets for your 2012 Ram 2500, one of which does not require drilling into your truck's frame to install, while the other requires drilling into the frame, though it is more economical. - No-Drilling: Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit with Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches Item # RP56011-53 - Drilling: Reese Semi-Custom Base Rail and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30035-023 (Note:...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Base Rail for Valley 7054 Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch
    For your Valley 7054 5th Wheel Hitch you will just need industry standard base rails. I recommend using a custom fit base rail kit for your 2004 Ram 2500 short bed. I recommend the Reese Semi-Custom Base Rail and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - Dodge Ram # RP30035-023. The brackets are a custom fit for your frame.

  • Dimension for Installing Fifth Wheel Rail Kit in 2003 Dodge Ram Short Bed
    The dimension you are looking for is 26-5/16 inches when installing the Reese Universal Rail kit part # RP30035-023. This is the recommended distance Reese recommends between the rear rail edge of the kit and the rear edge of your truck's bed. You'll then use the front legs of your fifth wheel hitch to place the front rail.

  • Location of 5th Wheel Hitch on a 2055 Dodge Ram 2500 with 6-1/2 Bed
    The head unit of your 5th wheel hitch should sit above or slightly in front of the rear axle on your 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 with the 6-1/2' bed. The exact location though will be determined by where your base rails sit. We have a few different options of base rails with the difference being the difficulty of installation. With all of the kits the distance from the back of your cab to where the king pin sits will be about 36" which you can use to get an idea for where your hitch will sit. If...

  • Installation Instructions for Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Install Kit for 2004 Dodge Ram 2500
    It depends on which installation kit you have. The 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 short bed could use # RP30035-023 (but will not work on trucks with overload springs), kit # RP50140-58, kit # RP30035-186, or kit # RP56011-53. I have included links to the installation instructions for all of these kits for you. The mounting hardware is not meant to be reused. After torqueing down the hardware it will stretch and so it cannot be re-used. For replacement hardware I would need to know which kit you...

  • Can a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 with 4.7L V8 Tow a 5th Wheel Trailer
    The towing capacity of a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 will vary based on tire size, bed length, transmission type, axle ratio, and drive style. If you can provide me with all of these metrics then I would be happy to provide you with an exact towing capacity for your Ram 1500. However, it looks like the most well equipped model only has a maximum towing capacity of 7,300 lbs. Therefore, the weight of your 5th wheel trailer cannot exceed 7,300 lbs. The length of the trailer is more or less irreverent...

    Yes, the Reese Semi-Custom Base Rail and Installation Kit # RP30035-023 that you referenced would be compatible with your Reese fifth wheel hitch.

For an inexpensive semi-custom kit, you can look at the Reese Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, # RP30035-023. I recommend installing a custom fit kit like the Reese Quick-Install Custom Kit, # RP50040-58. This kit takes less time to install and requires no frame drilling.

  • 5th Wheel Base Rail Installation in 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 Short Bed
    5th wheel base rail installation always references the rear edge of the rear rail and uses the edge of the bed (not the tailgate) as the measurement point. Once the rear rail is in position the front rail is easily placed using the front hitch legs as a guide. For the Reese Semi-Custom Base Rail and Installation Kit # RP30035-023 you referenced the rear edge of the rear rail should be 26-5/16-inches from the edge of the bed on your 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 short bed.

The custom install kit takes about half the time to install as the # RP30035-023, and would require no drilling into the frame to install. Because you have the short bed, you will need a sliding fifth wheel hitch unless your fifth wheel is fitted with a Sidewinder.

    To install the Reese fifth wheel rail kit part # RP30035-023 in your 2006 Dodge Ram would require you to remove the Blue Ox gooseneck hitch you have.
