Question:
will these work for a RBW HITCH?

Hi Terry,
Most RBW fifth wheel hitches mount to industry standard rails (ISR), if your truck already has above bed industry standard rails, you can use the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for Ford F-150 part # C86WR. I suggest using the Curt kit over the B&W kit because the B&W is specific to the B&W Patriot fifth wheel while the # C86WR fits with a variety of different fifth wheel hitch brands and is custom designed to fit any bed length of the 2017 F-150. If you don't have industry standard above bed rails installed to use with the brackets, you can use the Curt Universal Fifth Wheelbase Rails part # C16104 to get the necessary attachment points for your RBW hitch.
What model of RBW fifth wheel hitch do you have?
