Very good quality product. I have a 2023 Ram 3500 Shortened. The fit needs some work as when I used the dimensions provided the rear bolts on the front rail wouldn't clear a bed channel without a lot of finesse. This should be reviewed and corrected. It turned what should have been a 2 hour install into a 5 or six hour install. It is now so tight I have trouble removing and replacing my Andersen Hitch.

Worked well on my 2016 ram 3500

Fast shipping great customer service

I received product earlier than expected !! Product is very good quality ! I will be installing this weekend and will follow up



by:

Good product fit well Heavy Duty got most of the bolts in and torqued took a good amount of time and took it to a mechanic for a couple bolts I didn’t have the tools for, if I did it again I would pay for a shop to put it in, but it’s a well made and good fitting product



by:

Perfect for my needs and installation was a breeze. If these guys sell it you need to seriously consider buying it from them. Customer service, installation and mailer can’t be beat

  • Sidewinder Pin Box and 5th Wheel Hitch for 2016 Ram 3500 Short Box
    The Ram Box feature is not ideal on a short-bed truck that will do 5th wheel towing due to the chance for interference but we have heard of successful Sidewinder installations. The correct 5th Airborne Sidewinder to replace a 1621 or 1621HD pin box is part # RP61422 that you referenced. This box also fits in place of several Fabex and M&M pin boxes. However, since it is rated for only 16K it will not have the necessary capacity for your trailer. We do offer the non-cushioned 20K-rated...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2014 3500 Series Dodge Ram Pickup with 8 Foot Bed
    If your 2014 Ram has the OEM puck system, I suggest the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch, # BWRVK3600. If you do not have the puck system, then I suggest the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # BWRVK3255 for an 18K hitch. Or, the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # BWRVK3200 for a 16K model. Each of these options will install with the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, # BWRVK2605. These custom brackets reduce the amount of time required to...

  • Recommended Sidewinder Pin Box to Replace a Curt Rota Flex 1621
    Yes, you can replace a Curt Rota-Flex 1621 Pin Box item # LC328329 with a rotating turret. Since you have a 2021 Ram 3500 w/ Ramboxes this is the only way you will be able to tow a 5th wheel trailer. To add a rotating pin box to your 2022 CrossRoads Aire CR32BH, I recommend the Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret item # RP34FR. The Reese Sidewinder fits both the Lippert 1621 an 1621HD pin box. Not all 5th wheel hitches are compatible with a rotating pin box. If your...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Base Rails For A 2022 Ram 3500 Cab And Chassis
    For your 2022 Ram 3500 Cab and Chassis you'll be able to use the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2605 that you were already looking at. These custom-fit brackets will allow you to mount to the chassis of your Ram without having to drill into it, which will save you quite a bit of time and frustration. I've attached a video below where Shane will walk you through the installation. If you're needing a fifth wheel hitch as well then I recommend...

  • Can The Demco Recon 5th Wheel Hitch Work In A 2016 Ram 3500 Short Bed
    Hi Troy, While the Demco Recon 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550045-5W will technically fit/mount in the bed of your 2016 Ram 3500, I don't recommend it. Having a short bed means the pivot point for the trailer it closer to the cab which means you could accidentally hit the cab with the nose of the trailer when making a tight turn. Instead you'd really want a sliding 5th wheel hitch like the B&W Patriot # BWRVK3270. This hitch requires base rails # BWRVK2605 in order to mount so you'd...

  • How To Tow a 5th Wheel Trailer with a 2019 Ram 3500 That Has RamBoxes
    The RamBox feature on your 2019 Ram 3500 is going to limit your list of available options but this is still possible. In order to avoid any bedside clearance issues you will have no choice but to install a rotating pin box, the Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin part # RP34FR for example. This moves the pivot point back away from the vehicle to create turning clearance. In order to make sure we get you the correct rotating pin box I will need to know the model number of the pin box on...

  • Recommended Industry Standard Rails for a 2013 Ram 2500
    To install the B&W Patriot Slider item # BWRVK3270 in your 2013 Ram 2500 you will need the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches item # BWRVK2605. These custom-fit brackets mount to existing holes in your Ram 2500's frame. They provide the mounting points you will need to attach a set of industry standard rails. I have linked an installation video below. To make towing with a 5th wheel easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring...

  • Will the Andersen Ultimate Connection Work with B&W Rails On a 2017 Ram 3500

  • Can The Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 16055 Be Used In Reverse
    Yes, per Curt the Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 16055 can be positioned over the axle or for a 3 inch rearward offset. The gooseneck hitch has an offset hitch ball that provides additional space between your truck's cab and your gooseneck trailer. The B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2605 are needed to attach the Curt Gooseneck hitch to. I attached a review video link below.

  • Fifth Wheel Towing with 2016 Ram 3500 Equipped with Ram Boxes
    The problem isn't with the hitch fitting, the problems are that the 5th wheel's pin box strikes the sides of the bed during turns. The only way a fifth wheel hitch can be used in a Ram Box equipped truck would be to use a Reese Sidewinder. The sidewinder moves the pivot between the trailer and the hitch from where the king pin and hitch jaws meet to where the pin box attaches to the 5th wheel. This moves the pivot point 22 inches rearward, preventing the pin box from hitting the sides of...

  • B and W Fifth Wheel Rail Kit for 2013 Ram 2500 that Doesn't Require Frame Drilling
    Yes, the B and W fifth wheel rail kit part # BWRVK2605 is a confirmed fit for your short bed 2013 Ram 2500. It does require drilling through the bed of the truck but no drilling of the truck's frame. I attached an install video for this kit on a similar 2013 Ram 2500 for you to check out as well.

  • Recommended Base Rail Kit For A Curt Crosswing 5th Wheel Hitch In A 2014 Ram 3500
    The Curt Crosswing # C86JR is compatible with ISR rails so is a multitude of options for your 2014 Ram 3500 with a 6-1/2' bed. If you have just a standard bed you'll want the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2605. This rail kit has custom fit brackets that require no drilling into the frame to install, which will save a ton of time and frustration. If you have an underbed puck system you'll need the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch...

  • Recommended Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for 2013 Ram 2500 Short Bed
    Either the Curt # C16541 A20 Fifth Wheel Hitch w/ Slider with its 20K capacity or the 20K Capacity B&W BWRVK3270 Patriot Sliding Fifth wheel hitch would be a great choice. Both hitches are high quality, and would offer you a secure, relatively smooth ride. For the Curt hitch, use the # C16430-204 rail kit or for the B&W Patriot, use # BWRVK2605. My only issue with bed rail mounted hitches is the fact that the rails remain in the bed when you're not using the hitch. If you don't use the...

  • Best 5th Wheel Hitch for 2022 Ram 3500 w/ 8 Foot Bed
    I have a great 5th Wheel Hitch and an installation kit to match it. It is the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 18,000 lbs item # BWRVK3255. B&W makes the best 5th wheel hitches in the business. The Patriot has a rounded two piece jaw that provides 360 degrees of contact and inhibits rattle and movement by securely wrapping around your trailer's king pin. This results in easier hookup and a safer, quieter ride. You will need the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails...

  • Weight of B&W Patriot 16K 5th Wheel Hitch BWRVK3200
    If you intend to purchase a 5th wheel trailer that has a Revolution or Sidewinder pivoting pin box for use with your 2013 Ram 2500 short bed then you will not need a sliding-type hitch and can use a fixed hitch of your preference. However, the excellent B&W Companion 20K hitch # BWRVK3500-5W, which mounts using the gooseneck install kit # BWGNRK1313-5W, is not compatible with any type of pivoting pin box. You are correct that B&W makes a serious product. Their 5th wheel hitches are produced...

    Your TrailerSaver TS3 Air-Ride Hitch will fit with industry standard rails so the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches Item # BWRVK2605 I recommended for the BD3 or any other industry standard rails will work with your setup.

  • Can 2022 Ram 3500 with Ram Boxes Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer
    The only way to tow a fifth wheel trailer with a truck that has the Ram Boxes is by using a pivoting pin box like the Sidewinder you mentioned. This is because the pivot point is moved up higher which prevents the pin box from hitting the Ram Boxes around corners. So the problem you have is that the Turnoverball B and W gooseneck hitch and Companion hitches can't be used with Sidewinders since that puts too much torque on the gooseneck ball shaft that the Companion uses for attachment....

  • Can Replacement Brackets And Hardware Be Purchased To Reinstall Base Rails
    Unless you know the actual make and model number of the rails it's honestly best to just replace all of the parts with a new kit to avoid any fitment issues since brands are not cross compatible and some models won't work with others under the same brand. You can still purchase replacement parts if you can determine the model number though. If you do want a complete kit then I recommend the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2605. This custom-fit...

  • Can Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch Be Used With Sidewinder Pin Box
    I have another option but unfortunately neither the Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch or the B&W Turnover ball gooseneck hitch are compatible with a rotating pin box like the Reese sidewinder you mentioned. Instead I recommend using the B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BWRVK3400 which will install into the B&W Turnover ball already installed on your 2017 Ram Short Bed, and will give you 12" of front to back travel for additional clearance when making...

  • 5th Wheel Hitch Installation Kit for 2016 Ram 3500 Without Factory Rail Kit and With Air Suspension
    The air suspension package in the 2016 Ram 3500 6-foot short bed makes 5th wheel hitch installation tough due to clearance issues, but I checked with my technical contact at B&W and they can offer a solution for a slider hitch installation. You can use B&W base rail/install kit # BWRVK2605 to give you industry-standard base rails in your truck bed. You can then use the 18K Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550034 which provides a generous 14-inches of slider travel. For...
