Helpful Expert Reply:

You unfortunately can not mix and match 5th wheel rail and bracket kits. So if you have the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails # C16204, you'll want to use a corresponding bracket kit # C16306.

Conversely, if you have the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50142, you'll want to use the Reese Universal Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP58058.
