Question:

Good morning, I am needing assistance on ing a fifth wheel for my 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 4WD. I am looking to purchase a 12k fifth wheel. I bought the truck used and it had a wheel in it at one time. They left the install plates underneath but no rails on top. The number I got off of the plates is 50040. Could you please help me on the plate, top rails, rear lift bag kit that would work with this setup and a fifth wheel electrical cord. Thank you for your help!

Good job finding the rail kit part number! That means that at one point it has the part # RP30035-186 installed so for replacement rails you'd need the # RP58058 which comes with new install hardware as well.

Then for an air bag kit the Firestone kit part # F2701 is the best option that provides the highest quality air bags. Then for a 7-way kit to install in the bed of the truck you would want the part # HM42137.
