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



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

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.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • Which Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Fits 2019 Ram 1500 Classic 5.5' Bed EcoDiesel
    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. Since your truck bed is so short you will need a slider hitch that can provide more turning clearance than...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • Ways To Improve Fuel Economy While Towing A Gooseneck Trailer
    There's too many factors for me to be able to determine what your mileage will be for your Ram with and without the trailer but there are things you can do to try and increase your mileage. You can use a tuner like the Edge Pulsar Inline Tuner with Insight CTS3 Monitor # EP33XR to improve your fuel economy, towing capabilities, throttle response, and performance. If you can provide me with the year of your Ram I can provide more specific tuner options. When not towing you can also improve...

    Yes, the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16115 will work with the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails part # RP50142-58. The Reese install kit will give you what is referred to as industry standard above bed base rails which works with most above bed mounted 5th wheel hitches from Reese, Pro Series, Husky, Etc. The Curt E16 is a great starter hitch and when paired with the Reese install kit will give you everything that is required to hit the road. However,...

  • 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

It's a custom fit kit like you mentioned wanting as well. Custom fit kits are the way to go as they minimize drilling and install time over a universal kit.

    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 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...

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...

    I have a solution for you, but the fifth wheel rails/brackets you had installed on your 2008 Dodge Ram are not a fit for your new 2014 model. You would need to upgrade your kit to the part # RP50142-58 as it is a custom fit kit that will minimize drilling and install time when compared to a universal kit. If you happen to have Reese rails already all you would need is the part # RP50142 and the hardware kit part # RP58430.
