Hello Edwin; do you already have base rails as well? The Replacement Hardware Kit for Reese 5th Wheel Base Rails # RP58504 you were looking at works with specific base rail kits from Reese like the universal # RP30035. If you have a set of base rails and brackets I will need to know what brand/model they are to help you find the right hardware.
If you don't have base rails at all you can still use the Reese # RP30035 or if you want a rails with a custom installation kit we have the Curt # C16411-204.
