Question:
I traded my 2008 F250 for a 2012 ram 2500. I took the Reese RP50082 rails off the 2008. Will they work on the 2012 Ram 2500?

Expert Reply:
The above the bed rails can be reused but the underbed brackets # RP50082 will not fit a 2012 Dodge Ram. Your Ram requires installation brackets # RP50140. You will also need hardware kit # RP58430 because the above the bed rails are designed to be used with the 10 bolt installation kit. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.
If your truck has a gas motor AND overload springs then you will need a different kit made up of # RP58023 and # RP30439. I have linked instructions for this kit as well.
