Question:
I now have accurate measurements to make it a little better, but will this work? Trailer is 96inch 48+22=50-48= 2 inches. Is this enough to be safe? So sorry for all the questions, but I dont want to buy the 5th wheel if it wont tow. Your answer will confirm the correct decision. Thanks so much, you offer a great service

The Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP56034-53 and the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 16,000 lbs # RP30047 are confirmed to fit your truck and will work with a Sidewinder pin box.
The Sidewinder pin box # RP34FR is rated for 20,000 lbs . You also could use the Air Ride # RP61422 if you prefer for a smoother ride. This will move the turning point of your trailer back to allow for cab clearance when turning. You will also want the custom wedge # SWW-03 for the best ride with that hitch.
Your truck is equipped to tow this combination without issue.
