Expert Reply:
I have a solution for you but the only option for a 5th wheel mounting kit is a universal kit like the B&W item # BWRVR3200. This kit provides you with a set of industry standard rails which will fit almost all 5th wheel hitches. This being a universal kit it will require some drilling.
To make towing with a 5th wheel easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector - 10' Long item # C56071. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your 5th wheel trailer easier and more convenient.
