Question:

Does the rail kit come with a tool to feed the bolts through from the back side of the frame. I have seen it mentioned in other site kits and on your how-to videos but, not in the kit I am viewing on your site.

Yes, there is one pull wire included with the Reese Universal Base Rail Installation Kit, # RP30035, for pulling the bolts from and access hole in the truck frame into the mounting hole location.

The Universal Kit that you referred to will work on the 2011 GMC Sierra, but for a much easier installation, I would recommend going with a custom install kit, to reduce drilling into the truck frame and reduce installation time. All of our fifth-wheel installation kits include the pull wires if needed for installation.

If your 2011 GMC Sierra is a 1500 series the correct custom install kit is part # RP50064-58. If you have a 2500 or 3500 series pickup you can use custom install kit, # RP56001-53.

The installation kit for the 2500 and 3500 series trucks, # RP56001-53, has the newer outboard style brackets which makes for easier access and shortened install times.
