Custom brackets reduce the amount of drilling and time required to install your fifth-wheel trailer hitch. Brackets, base rails, and hardware included.

by:

Kind of a complex install and having to remove wheels, rear liners and the spare make it kind of a difficult job. Local installer did it which was worth the 175$. Except they didn't really use the correct hardware or bolt locations which is annoying. Very careful of wire routing as it pinched the air suspension sensor wire and created all sorts of headaches.

Anyways functionality wise it's a good system and good price and or price match, (ebay was a bit cheaper). I pull a 30ft Trailer 9k+ and it doesn't leave me questioning anything. Andersen ultimate connection hitch



by:

This kit only has enough holes in the front brackets to install two bolts in the front bed rail thats one on each side and three bolts in the rear rail all three in a row on one side of the rail i habe installd a lot of thease kit ovrt the years and i have never seen a kit thay you did not put 4 bolts in each rail there is now way im going to try to pull me camper with this kit i have pictures of ot if you want them

I have installed this kit on a 2012 ram 1500 quad cab. the rear bracket is a bit challenging to get in place, and if you have dual exhaust there is no place to reinstall hanger bracket, other than that its a easy install

what did you do about the hanger? do you have one custom made later? Hangers provide support on the exhaust system. without them you can break manifold parts from stress.

Very well designed installation kit which requires no drilling thru the truck chassis. You won't find a simpler way to install your fifth wheel hitch.

Great Customer Service at all levels. These people do exactly what they say they are going to do. I spent about $1800 for my fifth wheel, rail kit, sidewinder and custom wedge. This was money well spent as everything works great.

  • Is There Custom Fit Fifth Wheel Rail Kit that Fits 2020 Ram 1500 Classic 5.5 ft Bed
    Hey One-Eyed Randy! Yes we do have a custom fit Reese fifth wheel rail kit that fits your 2020 Ram 1500 Classic 5.5 foot bed with the part # RP50142-58. These will place slightly forward of the rear axle center. You will need a slider hitch that slides a bit more than usual with the Demco HIjacker Autoslide part # DM48TV which slides 22-1/2 inches whereas most are about half than that.

  • Towing a Fifth Wheel Trailer With 5-1/2 Foot Bed and Rambox
    You will be able to tow a fifth wheel with your 2014 Ram 1500 LongHorn that has a Rambox but it will require the use of a fifth wheel trailer with a Sidewinder king pin. If the fifth wheel trailer you purchased does not already have a Sidewinder you will need to purchase one to replace what is on the fifth wheel. Sidewinders are designed to replace specific king pins; for example # RP34FR is designed to replace Fabex 663 and 665, Lippert 0719, 1621 and 1621HD, as well as M&M 663 and 665...

  • Rails For Existing Reese 50081 Frame Brackets In A Ford F150
    Hi Jerry! The Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches 50081 (our part # RP50081) are a fit for a 2004 to 2014 Ford F150, in case you were curious. I was. With that said, the rails to go along with them will be the Reese Universal Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10 Bolt # RP58058. This includes the hardware needed to attach them to the frame brackets as well. As to the sliding hitch, I recommend going with the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch...

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for Use with Reese Revolution on Fifth Wheel Trailer
    Since your trailer has a Reese Revolution pin box (which is the best way setup for a truck with as short of a bed as you have), you need a fixed hitch that attaches to a rail kit in four places. The Companion style hitch like you mentioned which attaches through the gooseneck ball shank cannot be used with the Revolution pin boxes. The Reese Select Plus # RP30081 that you referenced would be a great choice but you'd need a rail kit installed in the bed of your truck. If you can get me...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Towing Setup for a 2017 Ram 1500 with a 5-1/2 foot Bed
    Since your 2017 Dodge Ram 1500 has a box that is shorter than 6 feet you will actually need to go with a stationary 5th wheel hitch and then change the pin box on your trailer to a Sidewinder pin box. There are no sliding 5th wheel hitches that will allow you to make a 90 degree turn with a truck that has a box under 6 feet. The Sidewinder takes the pivot point on your towing setup and moves it from the king pin back 22 inches to the rotating pin box. We have a selection of Sidewinders...

  • Sidewinder Pin Box Replacement Recommendation to Replace a Mor/Ryde SPB72-1621LD
    Based on the part number you gave for your Mor/Ryde pin box it sounds like you have a pin box based on the Lippert 1621 pin box. Which then for the correct Sidewinder you would want the part # RP34FR. Since your truck has a 5-1/2 foot bed the Sidewinder pin box is exactly what you need to give you the turning clearance you'll need.

  • Will Sidewinder Allow 2016 Ram 1500 With Rambox to Make 90 Degree Turn?
    In order to determine if a Sidewinder such as # RP34FR will allow you to perform a 90 degree turn with your 2016 Ram 1500, you first need to measure the distance from the center of your fifth wheel hitch jaw to your truck's Rambox.You will also need to know the width of the trailer you will be pulling. You can then use this formula to find out if you can do a 90 degree turn: (A + B) - C = Clearance A = Distance from center of 5th-wheel hitch jaw to Rambox in inches B = Length of Sidewinder...

    We have the Reese fifth wheel rail kit part # RP50142-58 which is a confirmed fit for your 2019 Ram 1500 Classic ecodiesel with a 5-1/2 foot bed as a confirmed fit that I would recommend highly, but the Curt you mentioned does not fit your truck so I do not recommend it. Since this is a custom fit kit it will require minimal drilling and install time compared to a universal kit.

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2014 Dodge Ram 1500
    A rail kit from a 2500 series Ram truck will not fit a 1500 regardless of the year so you'll need an all new kit for your 2014 Ram 1500. For that you'd want a custom install kit as they install much quicker and easier than universal style kits. For that the Reese rail kit part # RP50142-58 would be a great option.

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch and Sidewinder Recommendation for 2017 Ram 1500 5-1/2 Bed
    The Max Turn Technology feature of your Keystone Cougar basically is a narrower nose that allows better clearance with short bed trucks. But since your truck bed is 5-1/2 feet you still would need a Sidewinder as the added clearance is not going to be quite enough. Your trailer should have a Lippert 1621 pin box so the correct Sidewinder would be the part # RP34FR. I'd still recommend verifying the pin box since you didn't mention the model of your Cougar. For a fifth wheel hitch you'd...

    Hi Mark; the rails included with the # QH84FR are not compatible with the factory air suspension system on your 2018 Ram 1500 Rebel. You will need the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50142-58. You can pick up the Q Hitch 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # QH34FR separately since we don't have a kit that includes both.

  • What Fifth Wheel Rail Kit is Needed to Install Curt Q20 Hitch in Bed of 2019 Ram 1500 Classic
    To install your Curt Q20 fifth wheel hitch # C16530 in the bed of your 2019 Ram 1500 Classic you'd need a set of industry standard fifth wheel rails designed to fit your truck. For that we have the Reese kit part # RP50142-58 which is custom fit for your truck and also is same design Curt hitches fit. A custom install rail kit will minimize drilling and install in much less time than a universal kit so it's what we recommend the highest.

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Mounting Rail Location in 2017 Ram 1500 6 foot 4 Inch Bed
    I checked with Reese, who confirms that for the # RP50142-58 bracket/rail kit the correct dimension from the rear edge of the back hitch mounting rail to the rear edge of the bed (not the tailgate) is 28-15/16 inches. This applies to both the 5 foot 7 and the 6 foot 4 beds. The bed dimension is actually 6 foot 4 inches, but most commonly refer to it as the '6 foot' or the '6-1/2 foot' bed. If you need a 7-way trailer connector in the bed of the truck, you could install

  • Is There a Puck System Available for a 2014 Ram 1500 Short Box
    I do have some solutions for you but unfortunately there are no puck systems (like what you would get OEM) for your 2014 Ram 1500. If you have the 6-1/2' bed then you can actually use the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1309 with the B&W Companion Slider # BWRVK3400 so that you have a completely clear bed when you remove the 5th wheel hitch. For a 5-1/2' bed though you will need the base rail kit # RP50142-58 along with a fixed 5th wheel hitch like the 16K #...

  • 5th Wheel Hitch Installation Bracket/Rail Kit for 2021 Ram 1500
    2021 is a split model year for the Ram 1500, with two different models being available. The 1500 Classic is a carryover from the previous generation, while the Ram 1500 is the all new model. If you have the Ram 1500 Classic, I'd recommend the Reese # RP50142-58 custom install kit. For a less expensive option, a semi-custom kit is available as part # RP30035-523. The semi-custom kit would take an hour or two longer to install. For a Ram 1500, only a custom install kit is available as part...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Brackets for 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 with Husky 5th Wheel Hitch
    I highly recommend using a custom 5th wheel bracket kit because it means you don't have to drill into the frame on your 2010 Dodge Ram 1500. Husky labels their bracket kits as "custom" but in any of their install kits that I've seen the instructions call for some form of drilling into the frame so their kits are more "semi-custom" than truly being custom. Since drilling takes a lot of time and effort it is well worth the extra money to invest in a custom kit. As long as your Husky 5th...

    The best complete system I can recommend for your 2015 Ram 1500 with 5-1/2 foot bed, would be the Demco Hijacker Autoslide, # DM8550040. This hitch slides automatically while you drive to give you 22-1/2 inches of additional clearance for tight turns. It's design relieves you from getting into and out of the truck to operate a manual slider. It has a built in roller-and-guide assembly that allows for smooth, controlled, and automatic movement. This hitch would be paired with the Demco...

    Demco's 13K Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel hitch # DM8550040 will fit the # DM8552030-71 rail kit which does work with your factory air suspension install. However, your truck cannot use a slider hitch. Beds that are 6-1/2-feet can get by with a slider but because you have a very short 5-1/2-foot bed with the Rambox feature the only way to tow a 5th wheel is with a standard fixed hitch like # RP30928 and a Sidewinder, Revolution or Turning Point pivoting pin box on the trailer.

    I recommend the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30928 for your 2019 Ram 1500 Classic. I like this 5th wheel hitch because the jaws are always ready to receive so you will not have to open the hitch before hooking up. The hitch has a gross towing weight of 20,000 pounds. You will also need the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # RP50142-58. The custom brackets will mount beneath your truck bed to provide attachment points for your 5th wheel rails. The vehicle...

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Setup for 2014 Ram With Rambox
    You are correct that in order to use a fifth wheel hitch with your 2014 Ram that has the Rambox feature, you will need to use a Sidewinder king pin. To pick the right Sidewinder you will only need to know the manufacturer and model number of the pin box on the trailer. For example Sidewinder # RP34FR is designed for use with Fabex 663 and 665, Lippert 0719, 1621 and 1621HD, as well as M&M 663 and 665 pin boxes.

    Great question!

Since your 2018 Ram 1500 has a 6-1/2' bed you'll be really pushing 5th wheel trailer to truck cab clearance so you would need to use the sliding Companion but unfortunately that can't be used with this latching...

    Yes, it's possible to pull a fifth wheel using your 2014 Ram 1500 short bed with RamBox. However, before you purchase anything you will want to take some measurements and make sure everything will work. For starters you'll need a trailer that has as Sidewinder or Revolution pin box. If you buy a trailer without one it's possible you can replace it. Check out the article I've attached to see if a specific pin box is compatible.

This is a custom fit rail kit that will minimize drilling and install time on your truck. You will need a slider hitch too since you have a short bed truck to be able to make tight turns without cab interference.
