How To Install a Pro Series 15K 5th Wheel Hitch on a 1996 Ford F-250
Updated 03/18/2019 | Published 03/15/2019 >
Question:
I have a Pro Series 15000 Head and need to mount it to a 1996 Ford F-250 8foot bed. Should I get the Universal Kit or is there one specific to this vehicle.

In order to install the Pro Series 15K 5th Wheel Hitch that you have now on your 1996 Ford F-250, I recommend using the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # RP30035. They do not make a truly custom install kit for your Ford F-250 so the above will be your only option.
If you need help with installation I have attached a sample install video for you on a similar 2002 Ford F-250. I have also attached the installation instructions in print form. The page you will need to look at is 10 because this will have the specific measurements that you need for your F-250.
