Question:
I have a 2011 Ford F-150 XLT You guys recommended the 50026 brackets and Reese rails. I ordered both. What is the measurement I would use to place the first rail. I have a 5 1/2 bed.

Helpful Expert Reply:
For your 2011 Ford F-150 XLT, the # RP50026 is not a fit for your 5-1/2 foot bed. It is a fit for the 6-1/2 foot or the 8 foot bed. For the 5-1/2 foot bed you will need the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50081-58 or # RP50081 for just the brackets. With this kit the rear edge of the rear rail will be 28-11/16 inches from the rear edge of the truck bed.
