Question:

Will the Reece rails I have for my 2008 f250 be compatible with a highjacker 5th wheel hitch? Sorry for the lack of info as I am completely lost out in left field when it comes to this kind of equipment. Thanks

There is a version of the Demco HiJacker 5th wheel hitch that fits in industry standard above the bed rails but it does not look like yours is one of them. Yours looks like it fits the below the bed system so it would not work with the Reese rails.

There isn't a Demco below the bed installation kit for your 2006 Nissan Titan that will work. So what I recommend is a new hitch and installation kit.

Since your truck has the 6-1/2 foot bed you will likely need a slider to be able to make tight turns. For an installation kit you can use # DM8552021-71. Then for a hitch I recommend the HiJacker # DM8550034 because it offers the most travel at 14 inches and it slides automatically.
