Question:
Hello, I have a BRW UH-85 fifth wheel hitch that I use on my 98 dodge ram and now I need to use this same hitch with my wifes 2006 dodge ram mega cab however I dont have the mounting brackets for this install. Do you have any suggestions on which kit if any that I could use with my wifes truck in order to make this installation as painless as possible. Thank you for your time. Sincerely,
asked by: Michael N
Expert Reply:
Some of the RBW hitches fit the industry standard rails but not all of them did. Since RBW is no longer in business we cannot contact them with your hitch to know for certain. But what you can do is compare the dimension picture I attached to see if the hitch would fit the industry standard rail kits we offer.
You will want to go with a custom fit rail kit designed to specifically fit you truck like the part # RP50140-58 since it will install in much less time and minimize drilling on your truck.
If you have Reese rails by chance already all you would need is the bracket kit part # RP50140. I wasn't sure if you meant that you have the rails already.
