Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 1999 Dodge Ram 2500

Question

Question:

Hi, Im curious why you dont list what vehicles your custom fifth wheel brackets fit on? Since this is very important information it would be nice if the information was listed and easily found. I have a 99 Dodge Ram 2500 and I cant find custom brackets for it, only the universals and thats not what Im looking for. Do you have the brackets I need? Thank you,

For your 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 long bed there are only universal fit rail kits available due to the age.

Best solution we have is the # RP30035. I attached an install video for this in a similar Ram truck as yours as well.

Just the brackets kits don't have the fit info on their product pages but that info is present on the bracket and rail kits. I can't find the part number you initially asked about but if you add "-58" to the end of the part number you'll see the product page that has the fit info. I remember it being Ford trucks. For your truck we just don't have any custom fit options. I wish we did, but the closes we have would be the B and W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch part # BWGNRK1394-5W which you could then use the B and W Companion Hitch # BWRVK3500 in. This is one of the nicest fifth wheel setups around though so it would be a great option.

Hi Glen, It will depend on what the GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) is of your trailer to determine which B&W 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter will work best for you. Fifth wheels and gooseneck trailers go off of pin weight instead of tongue…
