Specs:
Reese's outboard installation kit for your fifth-wheel trailer hitch was designed with safety and convenience in mind. Just like the original custom mounting brackets, these brackets install using existing holes in the truck frame, minimizing installation time. The biggest difference with this outboard kit is the extended-length rails. These above-bed rails are 5 inches longer than standard, universal fifth-wheel rails so that they will match up with the mounting points on the brackets, which sit below the bed and outside of your truck's frame. The result is a much simpler installation process, wherein most underbed components can be easily avoided. Because you are working outside the frame rails, you also have easier access with your tools and more room to work, making the whole process less of a pain.
The base rails included in this installation kit feature a standard 10-bolt design. Each of these rails attaches to the underbed brackets with two carriage bolts at both ends. A single bolt is used in the center of each rail to further secure it in your truck bed. The result is a set of base rails that remains firmly in place thanks to 10 points of contact.
This entire installation kit is built to be SAE J2638 compliant and has been extensively tested per specified accelerated-life-cycle criteria for fifth-wheel trailer hitches. The requirements for testing are based on the European-style test of 900,000 cycles, making this testing process among the most thorough and intensive in the industry.

Heavy-duty, custom brackets dramatically reduce the amount of drilling and time required to install your fifth-wheel trailer hitch. Outboard design ensures simple access to mounting points. Brackets, 10-bolt base rails and hardware included.The brackets and rails were a perfect fit, really easy and fast to install, took me 2 hours from start to finish.
Delivery time was very reasonable, installation of rails and frame brackets straight forward and relatively simple. I went to extra lengths to try and get them in exactly as per recommended measurements. Not sure in 1/8 to 1/16 inch off would be an issue, so I worked until I nailed it exactly. Haven't picked up the new 5th wheel yet, but anticipating no problems. 2013 F250 diesel crew cab short bed.
Product was on back order for some time which was out of etrailers control , once product was in very quick response and shipping . Thanks
This was a great addition to the hitch
Ordered a Reece custom fifth wheel bracket kit with rails. It was delivered in a timely manner and I installed it myself. Went right on with no problems. I do wish the instructions had mentioned what to do when you have a bracket hole hitting the bed cross members. I had to drive the shims between the bed and cross members to keep the bed from collapsing.
Overall product is great, the construction is heavy duty gauge metal for better strength, much better that what I was sold at the dealership in the past.
Installation was easy and straight forward.

I really like the hitch, install took a little time but every thing went in as planned , the best part is easy hook up to the fifth wheel . I also installed the power cord which just plugged into the factory plugs drilled a hole in the side of the inner bed were I wanted it and done . I would like to thank your company for the quick delivery even though the hitch was on back order which is not your fault. I appreciate all the help from the staff at etrailer and will order from you again when parts or other items are needed . Thank you for your follow up and have a great Christmas and a Happy new year .
