Thank you for reaching back out and clarifying that, the reason you received a response talking about a 5th wheel hitch is because base rails are a 5th wheel product. What you are needing is something different than base rails.

The TracRac's are a custom fit product for each vehicle. Depending on what vehicle it came off of and what model it is, there is a chance it will not work with your 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 with 6.5' bed. That being said, the Replacement Modular Base for Thule TracRac Fixed Mount Ladder Rack # 8528383001 will work with TracRac, TracOne and the T-Rack Pro2.

If you can provide the part number for the TracRac you have, I may be able to verify if it will work with your truck or not.

I was given a TracRac and need the base on which the Rac slides on. The previous reply to my question asked for the model number. I don’t seem to be able to locate it on the rac. There is only one label see photo.

The correct TracRac Base Rails for your 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 with 6.5' bed are the Base Rails for Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Racks # TH21501 which work for the Thule TracRac SR or Thule TracRac G2 sliding ladder rack.

Thank you for the manual information. I contacted the manufacturer and they verified that the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Racks # TH21501 will work with the TracRac 00-22500 rack that you have. The # TH21501 is the correct TracRac Base Rails for your 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 with 6.5' bed.

I’m wondering if there is any way to figure out what other trucks my TracRac parts will fit? We no longer have the truck these parts were on and would like to know what else they can go on.

@BrendaC thanks for reaching out! We have a list of fits for each rack, so I can check which trucks yours will fit. Which TracRac do you have? Also, what's the year/make/model of the truck you're looking to put it on?

I tried to copy and pasta a list of parts, but was unable to do so. How can I send you that information?
