Custom brackets reduce the amount of drilling and time required to install your fifth-wheel trailer hitch. Brackets, base rails, and hardware included.

by:

Kind of a complex install and having to remove wheels, rear liners and the spare make it kind of a difficult job. Local installer did it which was worth the 175$. Except they didn't really use the correct hardware or bolt locations which is annoying. Very careful of wire routing as it pinched the air suspension sensor wire and created all sorts of headaches.

Anyways functionality wise it's a good system and good price and or price match, (ebay was a bit cheaper). I pull a 30ft Trailer 9k+ and it doesn't leave me questioning anything. Andersen ultimate connection hitch

I have installed this kit on a 2012 ram 1500 quad cab. the rear bracket is a bit challenging to get in place, and if you have dual exhaust there is no place to reinstall hanger bracket, other than that its a easy install

what did you do about the hanger? do you have one custom made later? Hangers provide support on the exhaust system. without them you can break manifold parts from stress.

Great product. Instructions and diagrams need to be more detailed.

Very well designed installation kit which requires no drilling thru the truck chassis. You won't find a simpler way to install your fifth wheel hitch.



by:

Great Customer Service at all levels. These people do exactly what they say they are going to do. I spent about $1800 for my fifth wheel, rail kit, sidewinder and custom wedge. This was money well spent as everything works great.

  • Compatible Rails for Reese 30031 Hitch on 2019 Ram 1500 Classic
    The Reese 30031 is nice in that it is designed to fit any vehicle with a set of industry standard fifth wheel rails. The correct fit for your truck is Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit # RP50142-58. I highly recommend these rails since they are custom fit for your 2019 Ram 1500 Classic. This means that the brackets are vehicle specific to minimize any drilling or measuring. However, if you want a slightly less expensive option, then the Reese Semi-Custom Base Rail and Installation...

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Rail Kit Recommendation for 2015 Ram 1500
    Since we can't recommend mixing fifth wheel rail and bracket kits the only solution we have is a new fifth wheel rail kit that fits your 2015 Ram 1500 which also fits your hitch like the Reese rail kit part # RP50142-58 which is a custom fit. Custom fit kits install much easier and don't require frame drilling like the universal kits do.

  • Base Rails And Brackets For A 2016 Dodge Ram 1500 With Reese 5th Wheel Hitch
    The installation brackets you will want to install a 5th wheel hitch on your 2016 Dodge Ram 1500 is our Reese Quick-Install Custom Brackets part # RP50142. The brackets will only fit the Reese brand 10 bolt base rails part # RP58058. I do not recommend mixing brackets and base rails between different manufacturers, so you will want to make sure you have Reese base rails. The brackets are specifically designed to fit your vehicle and work with any of the Reese 5th wheel hitches with the...

  • 5th Wheel Frame Bracket Kit for a 2014 Ram 1500 with 6 Foot Bed
    If you are looking for the brackets only for your 2014 Ram 1500 short bed then you can use Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches Item # RP50142. If you need a kit that also includes the rails it is # RP50142-58. Current pricing is available on the product pages. I have linked video reviews of both part numbers for you.

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch and Rail Kit Recommendation for a 2012 Ram 1500
    You would be barely under the towing capacity but technically yes, if your 2012 Ram 1500 has a 10,250 towing capacity and the trailer you are looking at weighs 10,244 lbs you would be good to go. However, you need to consider the fact that when you are towing this trailer you only will have about 6 lbs worth of capacity left over for cargo. Realistically that's probably not going to be enough so a lighter trailer would be a better choice. The part # RP30081 that you referenced would be...

  • What Fifth Wheel Hitch and Sidewinder do I Need for my 2014 Ram 1500 Eco Diesel 5.5 bed.
    I've got great news! You have options to use a different manufacturer's fifth wheel hitches for the Reese Sidewinder, but there are limitations on specific hitches, like not being able to use Curt's Q or A series. The Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30928 and the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit part # RP50142-58 is a great choice, and what I recommend. Please keep in mind these Fifth Wheel Hitches should only be used for your short bed truck with the sidewinder...

    The Reese # RP30035-386 semi-custom install rail/bracket kit will fit a 2018 Ram 1500 unless it has the factory air suspension system or the Eco Diesel engine. If you have the air suspension system, you'll want to use the custom kit, part # RP50142-58. If you have the Eco Diesel engine, use # RP30035-523 for vehicles without the factory air suspension or if you do have the factory air suspension the # RP50142-58 will work. Each kit provides industry standard 5th wheel bed rails that will...

  • 5th Wheel Hitch Towing in Short Bed Ram with Rambox
    Demco's 13K Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel hitch # DM8550040 will fit the # DM8552030-71 rail kit which does work with your factory air suspension install. However, your truck cannot use a slider hitch. Beds that are 6-1/2-feet can get by with a slider but because you have a very short 5-1/2-foot bed with the Rambox feature the only way to tow a 5th wheel is with a standard fixed hitch like # RP30928 and a Sidewinder, Revolution or Turning Point pivoting pin box on the trailer. The Ramboxes...

  • Installing Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Round Tube Slider in 2011 Dodge Ram Pickup
    The Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Round Tube Slider, # RP30075 installed with the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit, # RP50142-58 is a confirmed fit for the 1500 series 2011 Dodge Ram Pickup and provides all needed hardware for installation. This makes the physical connection for towing a 5th wheel camper but you will also want the 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Plug, # 50-97-410 if you do not already have a wiring harness so as to make electrical connections...

  • Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch For A 2019 Ram 1500 Classic 5.7 Foot Bed
    I recommend the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30928 for your 2019 Ram 1500 Classic. I like this 5th wheel hitch because the jaws are always ready to receive so you will not have to open the hitch before hooking up. The hitch has a gross towing weight of 20,000 pounds. You will also need the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # RP50142-58. The custom brackets will mount beneath your truck bed to provide attachment points for your 5th wheel rails. The vehicle...

  • 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Installation Kit for a 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 w/5-1/2 Foot Bed and Ram Box
    Since your 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 has the 5-1/2 foot bed with the Ram Box feature there are special requirements if you want to tow a 5th wheel trailer. Basically you will need to replace the factory pin box on the trailer with a Sidewinder. The Sidewinder moves the trailer pivot point back 22 inches and the narrow bed on Ram Box models won't be a factor because the arm of the Sidewinder stays straight and won't hit the bed sides on turns. Before anything else we have to see if there is a...

  • Will Universal 5th Wheel Rail Kit Fit a 2011 Ram 1500 with 5-1/2' Bed
    The Curt Universal Rail Kit # C16200 can essentially be installed on any truck, but Curt does say that the Bracket Kit # C16306 is also required for this to fit on your 2011 Ram 1500. This does still require drilling into the frame of your vehicle so if you'd like to avoid that then you'll want to go with the Reese Custom-Install Kit # RP50142-58. Once you have these rails installed you will either need to use the 13K Demco Hijacker # DM8550040 autosliding 5th wheel hitch, or a stationary...

  • Can 2013 Ram 1500 with 5-1/2 Foot Truck Bed Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer
    You will be able to reuse your Reese/Pro Series 16 fixed hitch with your 2013 Ram 1500, but since your bed is 5-1/2 feet long you actually need to replace the pin box on your trailer with a Sidewinder to give you the needed clearance to make tight turns. A standard slider base would not give you enough clearance to make tight turns. Sidewinders are pin box specific so you will first need to know what pin box you have now in order to pick out the correct one. There should be a sticker...

  • Highjacker Rail Installation Recommendation for a 2012 Dode Ram 1500 Quad Cab Short Box
    It looks like there is at least 2 variations of the Highjacker fifth wheel hitches, ones that fit industry standard rails like we offer and some that install with rails that run front to back of the truck bed. If you had the style of hitch that installed in industry standard rails that run from left to right you would want the install kit part # RP50142-58. This is a custom kit designed specifically for your 2012 Ram 1500 with a 6 foot bed. Since you have the style of hitch that installs...

  • 5th Wheel Hitch and Bracket/Rail Install Kit for Rambox Equipped 2015 Ram 1500
    Setting up a Rambox equipped truck for 5th wheel towing presents a unique challenge. The challenge is that the Ramboxes make the inside of the truck be significantly more narrow, which means the pin box will strike the sides of the bed during turns. Plus, because the bed is so much more narrow, with most hitches you won't be able to pull out the latch handle out far enough to open the hitch jaws because the handle ends up hitting the bed side. The good news is that we do offer a solution...

  • Would a Custom Install 5th Wheel Install kit from a 2009 Ram 1500 fit a 2014
    It should, the recommended custom install kit for your 2014 Ram 1500 with a 6 foot bed is the Reese Quick Install kit part # RP50142-58 which is also confirmed to fit a 2009 Ram 1500 with a 6 foot bed. If this is the kit you have then it should work as well as the Reese Sliding Fifth wheel hitch part # RP30051 that you have.

  • Towing a Fifth Wheel Trailer With 5-1/2 Foot Bed and Rambox
    You will be able to tow a fifth wheel with your 2014 Ram 1500 LongHorn that has a Rambox but it will require the use of a fifth wheel trailer with a Sidewinder king pin. If the fifth wheel trailer you purchased does not already have a Sidewinder you will need to purchase one to replace what is on the fifth wheel. Sidewinders are designed to replace specific king pins; for example # RP34FR is designed to replace Fabex 663 and 665, Lippert 0719, 1621 and 1621HD, as well as M&M 663 and 665...

  • Slider Hitch and Rail Kit Recommendation for 2016 Ram 1500 with 5-1/2 ft Bed and Air Suspension
    The Demco Hitch part # DM8550040 would be the fifth wheel hitch you would want to tow a trailer with your 2016 Ram 1500 with a 5-1/2 foot bed. It's the only slider hitch available that's going to allow you enough clearance to make a tight turn. For a custom rail kit to use to install the hitch you would then want the part # RP50142-58 by Reese as it is a fit for your truck (even with the air suspension), plus it's also a fit for the Demco hitch.

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch and Rail Kit for 2015 Ram 1500 Short Bed Towing Trailer with Reese Revolution
    Yes, you are correct. Since you are buying a trailer with a Reese Revolution box you would want a stationary hitch since you do not need the slider. The Revolution will provide all of the needed turning clearance. For a stationary hitch the Reese part # RP30047 would be a great option. Then for a rail kit confirmed as a fit the part # RP50142-58 would be what you need as it is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Ram 1500 short bed.

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2015 Ram 1500 with Air Suspension
    At one point there wasn't a fifth wheel rail kit that fit the 2015 Ram 1500 trucks with air suspension but that has recently changed and the part # RP50142-58 will fit all models of the truck. If you have a 6-1/2 foot bed you'd need a slider hitch like part # C95DR, if you have a long bed you'd want a stationary hitch part # RP30047.

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Install Kit Recommendation for a 2012 Dodge Ram 6 foot Bed
    For your 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 6 foot bed the Reese install kit part # RP50142-58 would be the kit I would recommend. This is a custom fit rail kit that will minimize drilling and install time on your truck. You will need a slider hitch too since you have a short bed truck to be able to make tight turns without cab interference. The Reese 16k part # RP30075 would be a great choice as it' has a jaw system that will provide excellent king pin contact and has a round tube slider which...

  • Demco Hijacker Autoslider 5th Wheel Hitch for 2016 Ram Rebel 1500 w/ Air Suspension
    Although there are Demco Hijacker Autosliding hitches that would work with your 2016 Ram Rebel 1500, there are unfortunately no Demco under bed mounts that are compatible with the air suspension so you'd need to go with the above bed mounts. Demco doesn't offer an above bed mount that'll work with the air suspension, but luckily Reese does. So, you could use the Demco Hijacker Autoslider along with a Reese # RP50142-58 above-bed rail kit. The Reese kit uses industry standard rails as does...

  • Will the Reese Semi-Custom Base Rail and Installation Kit Fit a 2019 Ram 1500
    The Reese Semi-Custom Base Rail and Installation Kit part # RP30035-386 is for a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic. That said, the kit requires you to drill into your frame which is not what I recommend. Instead, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit which does not require any drilling into the frame. If you have a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic then you need part # RP50142-58 but if you have a 2019 Ram 1500 then you need part # RP56018-53.

    For a custom base rail kit that is confirmed to fit your 2016 Ram 1500 with the 5-1/2 foot bed I recommend the Reese Quick-Install # RP50142-58. When mounting the rails, the rear base rail will be positioned 28-15/16 inches from the tailgate (see attached image). This base rail kit includes custom brackets that will use existing holes in your truck's frame to eliminate the need for any frame drilling.
