• Reese 5th Wheel Under Bed Brackets Only for a 2013 Ford F-150
  We do not recommend mixing under bed brackets with above the bed rails from different manufacturers because they are not tested together and there could be some compatibility issues, though not likely. Since you already have the Reese rails I would stick with the Reese brackets as well, # RP50081. These brackets come with the hardware to attach them to the truck frame but you will need to add hardware kit # RP58430 to attach the rails to the brackets. The old hardware, if you still have...

• Troubleshooting 5th Wheel Turning Clearance with 2014 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2 Foot Bed
  For your 2014 Ford F-150 Super Cab with 5.5 foot bed, as Reese stated you should be good for your turning clearance with the 22 inch offset of the Revolution pin box (Factory version of Reese Sidewinder). I haven't heard of turning being reduced to under 40 degrees before, so it is possible the dealer didn't install the rails in the correct location. Most dealers use the universal installation kits like # RP30035 which can allow them to measure incorrectly. I've attached the installation...

• Can 5th Wheel Install Brackets and Rails from a GMC Fit on a 2011 Ford F-150 with a 5-1/2 Foot Bed
  First of all the rails will likely work for you. Although it could depend on if you need new brackets or not. We recommend combining rails and brackets from the same manufacturer so you'll want to use brackets that are the same brand as the rails. For example, if he has Reese rails, part # RP58058, then you want a Reese bracket kit. If he currently has a universal bracket kit, like our part # RP30439, then they will work with your truck. This kit works with virtually any truck however...

• Which 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Brackets Fit a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 with 8 Foot Bed
  While the Reese rails and the Curt Brackets, # C16420, may be compatible, it is not recommended to mix manufacturers for 5th wheel trailer hitch installation components as there is no way to accurately determine the capacity of the system. If you already have Reese rails, you should use the Reese brackets. If your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 long bed has overload springs, you would need Reese Mounting Bracket Kit, # RP58186, and Reese Universal Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches (No...

• Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit Recommendation for a 2010 Ford F-150
  Are they Reese fifth wheel rails? If so then I would recommend the install bracket kit part # RP50081 as this is a custom install kit designed to fit your 2010 Ford F-150. You would also need the hardware kit that attaches the rails to the brackets as that does not come with the bracket kit and what you may have cannot be used since the hardware is one-time-use. For that you would need the part # RP58430. If the rails you have are a different brand email me back and I will help you find...

• 5th Wheel Installation Kit Brackets Only for a 2010 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2 Foot Bed
  First, for custom brackets, # RP50081 would be the best choice. The other brackets, # RP58426, are supplements to the universal installation kit so I do not recommend using them. Since your truck has the very short 5-1/2 foot bed you will need to either use a fixed 5th wheel hitch or a slider left in the towing position at all times and a Sidewinder pin box. A regular slider hitch will not be able to travel enough to allow you to make tight turns without hitting the truck cab and trailer...

• Can Old Base Rails Be Re-Used On a 2013 Ford F-150
  The installation of a set of base rails will be dependent on the exact kit you are using, the frame brackets in particular so I would need this info in order to assist. That said, the older Ford trucks used universal install kits which required you to drill into the frame whereas the new Ford trucks have custom fit kits which install using pre-drilled holes. I do not recommend using the universal install kits nor is this always an option but I do still have an option for you that won't...

In terms of Reese rail products, there are 2 possible options for brackets and rails. First is the semi-custom install kit # RP30035-426. This includes the 4 bolt rails and special brackets compatible with them. This kit does require some drilling to mount the brackets. It sounds like he has the 10 bolt rails and the universal brackets...

• Custom 5th Wheel Brackets for a 2011 Ford F-150 5-1/2 Foot Bed with Reese Rails and Hitch
  For a 2011 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2 foot bed and Reese 5th wheel rails you would need custom brackets # RP50081. With this kit the instructions, linked for you, state to measure from the rear edge of the bed, not the tailgate, forward 50-15/16 inches. This is where the back edge of the FRONT rail will be. You would then use the hitch to place the rear rail. You will also need hardware kit # RP58430 since none of the rail hardware is meant to be reused. With the 5-1/2 foot bed you will also...

• Can 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 5-1/2 foot Bed Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer
  There is a way to tow a fifth wheel trailer with a truck that has a 5-1/2 foot short bed like your 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 model but not with a SuperGlide hitch as it would not slide back far enough. What you'll have to use is a fixed fifth wheel hitch setup with a Sidewinder pin box as this is only way to get the amount of turning clearance required. You will need to remove the pin box of the trailer and replace it with a Sidewinder pin box. Sidewinders are pin box specific so you...

• Brackets and Hardware Only for Industry Standard 5th Wheel Rails in a 2004 Ford F-150 5-1/2 Foot Bed
  For your 2004 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2 foot bed you can use brackets # RP50081 to work with the rails shown in the picture you submitted. You will also need hardware kit # RP58430 to attach the rails to the brackets because no hardware should be reused. The only issue is that you have a 5-1/2 foot bed. A slider hitch is not going to offer enough travel to safely make 90 degree turns without the trailer hitting the truck cab. A lot also depends on the width and design of the front of the trailer...

• Parts Needed To Install Reese/Pro Series 5th Wheel Hitch On 2014 Ford F-150
  In order to install a Reese or Pro Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch like part PS30093 on a 2014 Ford F-150 you'll need the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit part # RP50081-58 or if you already have Reese rails just the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit part # RP50081. In regards to turning clearance, if you don't have the budget for a rotating pin box then you could probably get by with converting the fixed hitch to a slider using the Reese Fifth Wheel Slider part # RP50024.

Part # RP58430 is the replacement hardware for the bed rails, and # RP50081F is the replacement hardware kit to attach the brackets to the frame of the truck.

The inboard bracket kit is part # RP50081. If you needed the bed rails as well, use part # RP50081-58. The outboard brackets are part # RP56006, or # RP56006-53 if you also need the bed rails. If you are wanting to re-use your existing bed rails, you will need to measure their length, and use the compatible...

• Recommended 5th Wheel Base Rail Brackets for 2000 Ford F-150
  The Reese mounting brackets # RP50081 are only a fit for 2004-2014 models of Ford F-150 trucks. For your 2000 model, you will instead use brackets # RP50042 or the kit # RP50042-58 if you don't already have the rails and rail hardware. These fit 1997-2003 models. If you have the rails, then I recommend the Replacement Hardware Kit for Reese 5th Wheel Base Rails - 10 Bolt # RP58504 as this hardware is only intended for one time use.
