Custom 5th Wheel Base Rail Brackets Compatible with 2012 Ram 3500 4x4

Question

Question:

Hello I was wondering if this product would work for a 2012 ram 3500 long bed 4 x 4 duly. I have they raise 16 K hitch and universal rails. But the universal rails were not compatible with my 2012 ram. With this would I be able to install my universal rails and hitch?

For your 2012 Ram 3500 Long Bed 4x4, the brackets you need are Curt Custom, No-Drill Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for Dodge Ram # C16420. This will work with the industry standard rails you referenced. Technically you shouldn't combine brands so I also recommend getting the complete rail kit # C16420-204.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
