Troubleshooting Fifth Wheel Hitch that Won't Fit in Fifth Wheel Rails

Question:

Have a Reese 5th wheel adapter trying to install in a ram 2500. From two pins fall in right but one of the rear pins will not min up right and . It is a little shy towards the middle of the bed. The other pin is lined up correctly. Is there a way to adjust the pins to fix this?

Sounds like either your fifth wheel rails weren't install properly in the bed of your truck or your fifth wheel hitch has somehow been bent. What you will need to do is check out the picture I attached that has all of the industry standard rail dimensions and compare them to the rails you have installed in your truck to determine where the problem is.
