• Measurement of Curt Fifth Wheel Base Rails
  I went to the warehouse to take some measurements of the Curt # C16104 base rails and found that they are 43" long and roughly 5-5/8" wide. I have added a photo showing some of the dimensions of the mounting holes for you as well. Center to center, the closest holes are roughly 10" apart, the second set of mounting holes is 20-1/2" while the third set is 29" apart. I have also added a link to a video review of these rails for you to take a look at.

• Could Curt Above Bed Rails Work with Pullrite Hitch
  It depends on which version of the Superglide fifth wheel hitch you have. If it's an ISR version that means it works with industry standard rails like the part # C16104 that you referenced. If its the version that only attaches to the Pullrite rails we wouldn't be able to help.

• 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kit for 2014 Ram 2500 and SuperGlide ISR Hitch
  For your 2014 Ram 2500 you can use Curt installation kit # C16427-204. This is a custom installation kit which means you will not have to drill in to the truck frame to install the underbed brackets. This means that the kit will install faster and easier than semi-custom or universal kits. Since you are going to get the SuperGlide hitch that fits industry standard rails (ISR) (I believe it is the 2700 model) then it will fit these rails!

• Are Curt Custom 5th Wheel Brackets Compatible with RBW Rails
  While you don't necessarily have to use RBW brand 5th wheel rails to attach your Lil Rocker hitch to your bed, both the rails and brackets must come from the same manufacturer. Some of the feedback we've received over the years suggests there can be small design differences that can cause the rails and brackets to not line up or fit perfectly together.

• Recommendation For a Fifth Wheel Slider Hitch and Base Rails on 2005 Ford F-250
  Since you are asking about a slider hitch it probably means your 2005 Ford F-250 has the 6-1/2 foot bed. My recommendation for a 16K slider hitch would be the Reese 16K Round Tube Slider Hitch, part # RP30075. I really like the round tube slider, as sometimes the square tube model sliders can bind, making the hitch difficult to slide back and forth. The round tube slider hitch will also give you 12 inches of travel towards the tailgate, compared to the 10 inches with a square tube slider...
