Went in easy and simple, make sure to look at the direction it goes I first as it is directional and you will only notice it when you go to put the bolts in on the bottom side, other than that it was a great easy to use set up

  • Could Hensley BD5 Hitch Fit Fit Reese Elite Rail Kit RP30852
    If the Hensley BD5 hitch you have was designed to fit the Ford OEM rail kits the hitch would be compatible with the Reese Elite Underbed Rail kit part # RP30852 as the Elite and Ford rail kits are the same. Or if the Hensley was designed for above bed rail kits you'd need the # RP30156 and it could fit the # RP30852.

  • Will the Reese Elite Series Kit For a 2012 Ram 3500 Work With a 5th Wheel Hitch for Chevy Pucks
    The Reese Elite Series Install Kit part # RP30852 which is a fit for your 2012 Ram 3500 is designed to use a 5th wheel hitch for Ford OEM Pucks such as the B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch for Ford Super Duty Prep Package part # BWRVK3300. There would be no way to use a 5th wheel hitch for Chevy OEM Pucks but you may be able to swap out the base. This would then allow you to use the head and center section, I would just need to know which exact 5th wheel hitch you have otherwise you would...

  • Gooseneck Ball Compatibility When Installing Reese Elite Rails On a 2012 Ram 3500
    You will want the Reese Elite Series Under-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # RP30158 to go with the Underbed Rails and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Trailer Hitches # RP30852 for your 2012 Ram 3500. The B&W Turnover ball will not be able to be used with the Reese Elite Rails installed. The Reese Elite Rails will allow you to use a Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30922.

  • Higher Capacity Underbed Fifth Wheel Rail Kit for 2012 Ram 3500
    For your 2012 Ram 3500 Reese does offer the Elite rail kit part # RP30852 which has a 25k capacity and is compatible with all of the Ford/Reese Elite style fifth wheel hitches since the rail kits are the same. Then for a higher capacity fifth wheel hitch that fits this rail kit we have the B and W Companion for OEM rail kits part # BWRVK3305 which has a 25k capacity.

  • Comparing Reese Underbed 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kits for a 2010 Dodge Ram 3500
    The difference between the 5th wheel installation kits # RP30852 and # RP30074 is what they fit. Kit # RP30852 is designed for 2010 to current Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 series. Kit # RP30074 was originally designed for the Signature Series hitches and it fits various Ram models going back to 2002. There is also a capacity difference. Kit # RP30852 is rated for 25,000 pounds while # RP30074 is rated for 18,000 pounds. However, you should always go by what the truck is rated for as stated...

  • Elite Series Underbed Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for a 2011 Ram 2500
    The # RP30074 and the # RP30852 have both been confirmed to fit your 2011 Ram 2500 and would work well with your Elite Hitch part # RP30144. Based on the price I would go with the # RP30074. Check out the install video I attached for more info.

  • Will Reese Elite with Underbed Rails Fit in 2012 Ram 3500 with Air Bags
    The Air Lift LoadLifter # AL57295 that's already installed into your 2012 Ram 3500 won't be an issue. The air springs install to the bottom of the frame. The Underbed Rails # RP30852 is normally easier to install, although not by much. The # RP30074 requires the bolts to go through the frame which is a little more challenging than the u-shaped brackets of # RP30852. However, in your case I think the # RP30074 is probably a little easier because the air bags may make it more difficult...

  • Recommended Underbed Install Kit and 5th Wheel Hitch For 2011 Ram 3500
    For the 2011 Ram 3500 I recommend to use the Underbed Rails and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Trailer Hitches part # RP30852 which will give you a custom under bed rail kit just like the OEM puck system. The spacing is the same as the Ford OEM Puck system so you will use a hitch that technically fits the Ford OEM puck system but only because you are using the Reese Elite underbed system. I recommend to use the B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch for Ford...

  • Compatibility of Air Lift Air Springs on 2012 Ram 3500 With a 5th Wheel Hitch
    The Air Lift Helper Springs, # AL57595, that you referenced will work well on your 2012 Ram 3500 and will not interfere with the 5th wheel hitch rail # RP30852. The Air Lift springs have a 7,500 lbs load leveling capacity which will help reduce the stress on your Ram's rear suspension when towing your trailer. I also recommend installing an air compressor system like the Air Lift Load Controller Compressor System, # AL25856, with the air helper springs. The compressor system will allow...

  • Where Does the Husky 5th Wheel Bracket Kit # HT31413 Install on a 2011 Dodge Ram
    The Husky rails, # HT30686, do sit in the bed of the truck. They will be bolted through the bed to the under bed brackets which are bolted to the truck frame. The brackets will not interfere with the spare tire at all. The hitch pins in the same as it currently does. All installation kits that have above the bed rails or require them will also require below the bed brackets. These are not to be confused with systems that are nearly completely under the bed such as # RP30852 for the Reese...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Rail Kit And Hitch Compatible With 2011 Ram 3500 Flat Bed
    If you want to keep your flat bed clean, I recommend the Underbed Rails and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Trailer Hitches # RP30852 with the Reese M5 Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Single Jaw - 20,000lbs # RP30921. This system will give you 4 pucks similar to the factory style pucks now available in many trucks. This will leave your flat bed usable without raised rails. If you want traditional above bed rails, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom...

  • Is the Reese M5 Series 5th Wheel Hitch Compatible with a Revolution Pin Box and 2010 Ram 2500
    Yes, the Reese Revolution pin box and the Reese M5 Series 5th wheel hitches such as # RP30921 are compatible with each other. You will just need the appropriate custom wedge # RP44FR. Since you are using a Revolution pin box I recommend using the fixed version of the M5 hitch # RP30921 because the pin box is not meant to be used with a slider hitch. For an installation kit that will fit your 2010 Ram 2500 and the Elite hitch I recommend # RP30852 which is the custom fit below the bed...

  • Recommended Under-Bed 5th Wheel Kit & Hitch For a 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 3500
    I do have an under-bed rail kit solution for your 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 3500, however the Underbed Rails and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Trailer Hitches # RP30852 you mention is not going to be a fit. Instead, take a look at the Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWGNRK1020. This under-bed kit is compatible with your truck, will provide a mounting point for the B&W Companion # BWRVK3400-5W, and when not...

  • Best Under-Bed 5th Wheel Mounting System for a 2011 Ram 2500
    The best below bed mounting system for your 2011 Ram 2500 is the Underbed Rails and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Trailer Hitches part # RP30852. This system installs using pre-drilled holes in your frame and will give you full bed access with the hitch removed. This is actually the same system installed from the factory on newer Ford, Ram, and Chevy trucks (Spacing Different for Ram/Chevy). Also, this option will allow for the greatest selection of 5th...

  • Elite Rail Kit, Slider Hitch, Air Spring Kit and Fifth Wheel Wiring Recommend for 2011 Ram 2500
    All of the parts you referenced would work well together. The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2299 that you referenced attaches the truck frame by the jounce bumper which wouldn't interfere with the rail kit part # RP30852 that you would need to install to use the Reese Elite Slider part # RP30144. The # 50-97-410 would be a great option for fifth wheel trailer wiring as well.

  • Reese Under-Bed Installation Kit and Fifth Wheel Recommendation for 2012 Dodge Ram Power Wagon
    There are two under bed installation kits available for your 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 Power Wagon. The choices are either the Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Under Bed Kit # RP30852 or the Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Under Bed Kit # RP30074. Both kits have a wide platform that ensures hitch stability, use the Power Puck system and are black powder coated steel that resists corrosion. Advantages to the Elite Series Gooseneck # RP30852 is that this gives you the option of adding...

  • Can a 5th Wheel Trailer be Towed by a 2012 Ram 3500 with Ram Box
    The problem that you are having is a common one that has frustrated Ram owner's since the Ram Box feature became available. For a very long time, no manufacturers even provided 5th wheel fit information for models that have the Ram Box feature (and still don't for the most part). But there is a solution. In order to be able to make tighter turns and not hit the Ram Boxes the trailer will have to be fitted with a Sidewinder pin box. The Sidewinder will move the pivot point of the trailer...

  • Best Underbed Fifth Wheel Towing Setup Recommendation for 2016 Ram 3500 without Rail Kit
    For your 2016 RAM 3500 I would recommend a B and W Companion hitch with Turnover ball setup as that will give you a fifth wheel hitch setup that installs without rails being in the bed of your truck. Basically you would have a gooseneck hitch ball socket in the bed of your truck that the hitch would install into. For the hitch you would want the part # BWRVK3500-5W and then for the rail kit you would want part # BWGNRK1314-5W. What is nice about this is that if you ever needed to tow a...

    If you have a 2016 Ram 2500 without the hitch prep package the B and W Turnover part # BWGNRK1384-5W will work as an underbed fifth wheel hitch as well as double as a gooseneck hitch. For a fifth wheel hitch to fit this rail kit you would need the Companion part # BWRVK3400-5W.

  • Available Under Bed Installation Kit and Hitch for 2010 Ram 3500 Short Bed
    I have a solution for you, but certain hitches will only work with certain underbed kits. A good example of this for your 2010 Ram 3500 with a 6-1/2 foot bed is the Underbed Rails and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Trailer Hitches # RP30852 and the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Slider # BWRVK3370. The best option available in terms of quality is going to be the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Kit # BWGNRK1313-5W and the Reese Companion Slider Hitch # BWRVK3400-5W....

  • Recommended Under Bed 5th Wheel System for a 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500 w/out the Prep Package
    We have something similar but there is no way to put a factory prep package in your 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500. I recommend the Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches item # BWGNRK1020-5W. This underbed system fits both the 6-3/4' and 8' bed lengths of the 2023 Silverado 2500. It has a 30,000 lbs capacity and provides you with a square gooseneck receiver capable of mounting a B&W Companion hitch in. There are two options for Companion 5th wheel hitches...

  • 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Hitch Combo Recommendation for 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Long Bed
    There are a few options for you to add a gooseneck and 5th wheel hitch combo to your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 with the long bed. You have the B&W Companion # BWRVK3500-5W with the gooseneck hitch # BWGNRK1313-5W or the Draw-Tite Hi-Rise # 9480-5W with the gooseneck hitch # 9464-35-5W. I recommend going with the B&W for a few reasons; the connection point between the hitches is superior because it uses a square shank that stays still as opposed to the circular connection of the Draw-Tite that...
