Why is Curt Fifth Wheel Rail kit C16306-204 for 2015 Dodge Ram 1500 Considered a Semi-Custom Kit

Question:
What does it mean by semi? Also wanting to verify that the installation kit part#C16306-204 will work for a 2015 Dodge Ram 1500 with the 64inch bed without eco Diesel engine.

Helpful Expert Reply:
Semi-custom rail kits like the part # C16306-204 that you referenced mean that they will require frame drilling basically like a universal kit. However, since your 2015 Ram 1500 with a short bed isn't compatible with the standard L-bracket fifth wheel rail universal brackets custom brackets needed to be made.
So it's semi-custom because the brackets are designed specifically to fit your truck, but they would require you to drill into the frame to install so it's actually going to install more like a universal kit.
A fully custom kit would not require any frame drilling typically.
