No-Drill 5th Wheel Hitch Installation Kit for 1995 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 Long Bed
Question:
Im going to put a 5th wheel hitch set of rails in my 95 dodge 2500 4x4 with the 8foot bed. It doesnt have helper springs on it. What kit do you recommend that I dont have to drill holes in the frame? I have looked at the reese kit 30035dr and have been told that theres a better kit to mount the rails with. Thank you.

The easiest 5th wheel base rail installation will be with a custom-fit kit. For your 1995 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 long bed we offer the Husky kit # HT31404-686 which does still require some frame drilling for installation but less than universal kits like # RP30035.
We do offer other kits that do not require any frame drilling. These are the B&W Underbed Installation Kit # BWGNRK1394-5W that works with their Companion 5th wheel hitch # BWRVK3500-5W. This set-up gives you both goose neck and 5th wheel trailer towing capability.
The other option is a similar goose neck/5th wheel set-up from Draw-Tite. Their install kit # 9460-39-5W requires no drilling for installation of the frame brackets and can be used with 5th wheel hitch # 9480-5W.
If you need a wiring harness you can use part # C56001 from Curt.
