Installing a Reese 16 K Fifth Wheel Hitch on a 1988 Chevy Pickup
Question:
I need to mount a 16K reese in an 1988 Chev 2500 long bed. Where do I place the center of the 5th wheel? I have heard 52 inches from the cab and also 2 inches before the rear axle. Where does the 5th wheel go? using standard rails.

Expert Reply:
If you are using the universal install kit, part # RP30035, the hitch would be installed so that the king pin is approx. 1 1/2 inches in front of the rear axle center. Below is a copy of the installation instructions.
