Question:

I need to install the rails that will fit my older Fifth Wheel Drawtite Slider hitch. My truck is a 1999 Ford F250 Super Duty Extended Cab 4 door pickup, V10. What rail kit would you recommend ? The least amount of drilling the better. Also looking for a wiring Kit.

The easiest custom installation kit for a 1999 Ford F-250 is going to be # RP56005-53. The frame brackets mount on the outsides of the frame rails and there is minimal drilling. I have included links to the installation instructions and a link to a video showing a typical installation for you.

The rails have the standard 3 sets of slots to mount a hitch. The outer set is 29 inches apart. The middle set is 20-1/2 inches apart, and the inner set is 10 inches apart (all on center).

For in-bed wiring you can use # 41157. It just plugs in line with the 7-Way trailer connector.
