5th Wheel Base Rails for a Lil Rocker 5th Wheel Hitch on a 2006 Ford F-350
Question:
What universal rails work with our lil rocker RBW LR-1001 crossbar hitch with LR 1010 mount GVWR 15000 Vertical load rating 3750 on a 2006 Ford F350 with an 8ft bed? Thanks for your help

Your RBW Lil Rocker fifth wheel hitch will work with the Reese base rails from the Universal Installation Kit, # RP30035, but we do not recommend mixing manufacturers frame brackets and base rails. There are slight differences between the base rails from different manufacturers, so a fit cannot be guaranteed. It is safer to use the same brand when it comes to brackets and rails, not to mention the installation is usually easier. It would be better to use your Lil Rocker hitch in Reese rails and attach the Reese rails with Reese frame brackets.
I would recommend getting a custom fit installation kit for your 2006 Ford F-350 like part # RP50082-58. This kit comes with custom brackets that were designed for the frame of your truck. The custom kit will install in half the time of the universal kit does not require any drilling into the vehicle frame.
I have attached the installation instructions and some installation videos for you to check out.
