2020 ram 1500 classic crewcab 4wd 5-1/2foot bed Hemi V-8. Dual exhaust. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. I have the Reese Slider hitch. Just need to install the rail kit. No-drill prefered... but will use whatever is best choice. Can I mount the rails slightly back of axle center ? Sincerely, OneEyed Randy.

Hey One-Eyed Randy! Yes we do have a custom fit Reese fifth wheel rail kit that fits your 2020 Ram 1500 Classic 5.5 foot bed with the part # RP50142-58. These will place slightly forward of the rear axle center.
You will need a slider hitch that slides a bit more than usual with the Demco HIjacker Autoslide part # DM48TV which slides 22-1/2 inches whereas most are about half than that.

Hello Jamedon C. ! Thank you so much for your prompt reply ! We already have a Reese Pro Series Slider. (16 K gvw ~ 4K pin load ) New truck needs rails so that our Desert Fox 305J ToyHauler can do it's "thing" ! I realize it's gonna be "iffy" close re: 5th wheel to cab clearance due to such a short truck bed. "SideWinders"... etc.etc are great... but PRICEY ! Can't spend that much. Question ~ why do they place it slightly forward of the rear axle center ? I'd rather it be 2" to 4" back of axle center.
