Question:

I have a Demco Recon 5th wheel hitch that was installed in my 2016 GMC. I have purchased a 2018 Ram 3500 Dually 4x4 with an 8foot bed and need the no-drill rails for under the bed to reattach the hitch into the new truck. Will these rails work? Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks!

Expert Reply:

We do have custom fifth wheel bracket kits that fit your 2018 Ram 3500 but you'll need to make sure that the rails you have are Reese since we can't recommend mixing rail and bracket manufacturers. If you do have Reese rails all you'd need is the bracket kit part # RP50085 which is custom fit for your truck. If you have a different brand of rails are you aren't sure what you have then we have to recommend you go with an all new rail kit part # RP50085-58 which gives you the same bracket kit but with new rails too. These kits are custom-fit options which mean they'll minimize drilling and install time over universal style kits.

These kits are perfectly compatible with the Demco Recon hitch part # DM8550043 that you have.
