Video Transcript for Reese Fifth Wheel Installation Kit RP56009 Review
Speaker 1: Today, we're going to take a look at the Reese quick install custom outboard brackets for fifth wheel trailer hitches. Now, this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit a 2014 and newer Dodge Ram and Ram 2500 short bed and long bed trucks without the factory rail kit, and on a custom fit part, I always like to recommend for you to go to our website, use our fit guide, put in your year, model, vehicle, and it will show if this will work for your application.Now, these installation brackets will mount beneath your truck bed. They provide you attachment points for your fifth wheel rails. Now, these do use the extended length base rails, part number RP30153, that we do sell separately on our website. The rails are designed to sit in the truck bed, and they allow the installation of your fifth wheel trailer hitch to your truck.Now, these are custom outboard brackets so they mount to existing holes in your vehicle's frame.
This will minimize drilling and measuring, and it cuts down your installation time by more than half compared with the universal bracket systems.The hardware for installing these brackets to the frame is all included with a nice set of detailed instructions, and these are a sturdy, black powder coated steel to help resist corrosion. That should do it for the review on the Reese quick install custom outboard brackets for fifth wheel trailer hitches.

Custom outboard brackets dramatically reduce the amount of drilling and time required to install your fifth-wheel trailer hitch. Hardware included. Extended-length base rails (RP30153) sold separately.by: Horace03/23/2020
Seems quite robust and able to handle the weight of a 5th wheel. Fits my long bed, crew cab, 2017 Ram 2500 and the 48" hitch rails as promised. Installation was straight forward, although working around the trucks fuel tank and wiring for the front left bracket was a bit of a pain. Was able to access all nuts for the carriage bolts through the wheel well by removing the two screws that attach the wheel well liner to the frame.
I would recommend grinding a notch in the starting threads of the bolts that go into the truck frame to clean out any dirt, debris, or undercoating to make installing them easier.
Only complaint is that the included extra long bolts are hex head rather than carriage bolts that would match the others that are visible from inside the bed.

Great product & easy install!

Upgraded my truck to a 2019 F250 Superduty. Received my new rail kit and mounting brackets. Fits perfect!

Installation was good and very happy. Thank you
by: Tim C02/12/2024
This did not fit my truck right. Front brackets fit fine. The rear brackets lined up with all the holes but the chassis strap brackets are wrong. The spacers are also too short. Contacted e trailer. They checked inventory said their boxes were all wrong also. They contacted the mfg and i waited a month only to get a box of bolts and spacers and no straps. Had to have some fabbed locally. This is for my 2024 silverado 2500 custom.
by: jm05/01/2024
Instructions not clear enough/descriptive. Took 4 hours for my mechanic to install. would have been much simpler to loosen and lift box instead of taking everything apart as per instructions. Product seems good will know how it works after hitching up trailer.
by: J Mac J10/04/2014
Five hours to install; which included a half hour searching for the key to the padlock on my spare. E-Trailer linked me to an installation video which really helped. I took my time and measured three times before I drilled the bed. Installation is a lot easier with someone to hold the bolts from the top. I fabricated mounting brackets on my last truck, but these were worth the money and I didn't have to drill the frame! Good design and straight-forward installation. My only issue was the video didn't show one bolt install that secured the driver's side rear bracket to the bottom of the frame. I was going off the video only and wasn't using the written instructions. Make sure you go step by step using both. Also, some parts are clearly for a different application so there will be a few parts left over. My experience with e-trailer was awesome.
by: Bruce08/05/2018
Very happy how soon the product I ordered was at my door step. 3 days after I ordered it. Put the base to my 5th wheel on my 2017 250 diesel sd took me around 5 hrs, would have been faster with 2 people. The base fit my husky 16k prefect when I done torquing all the bolts. Going to use this hitch to pull my 29.5 Durango EZ 1500.
by: Robert01/05/2024
The costom bracket kit is of heavy steel,powder coated for protection, from your video it is going to be a lot easier to install and save time,alot less drilling and mounting of components, I am very satisfied with this product and cannot wait to install it on my 2013 Ford f150,will be pulling a 25 foot 5th wheel camper, thanks trailer for a great product
by: Tate Greenway05/06/2024
I did not use this item in my institution and was returned because I had the bed replaced with a flat bed and they used the factory placed holes in their insulation. Designed new attachment plates and had them fabricated in a local machine shop, attached using 3 half inch harder bolts each and all is working well.
by: Jason07/20/2018
Very easy to install. Measure twice, drill once. I used every piece of galvanic corrosion tape to protect the aluminum bed in the kit, probably could have used a little more. Even though I painted the edge of the holes after drilling, maybe some sort of insulator could be used there also.
by: Pennee & Billy Barron01/31/2017
We ordered a bracket kit for our new 2017 F350. It was needed to install our Reese fifth wheel. which we use to pull our RV. Product was on back order by manufacturer, however Delisa at Etrailer diligently kept us very informed with updates & shipping status. My husband & son were able to install in a couple of hours. Looks great, outstanding craftsmanship & over exceeded our expectations! We would highly recommend!!!!!
by: Brig01/11/2024
Still waiting for my package that was supposed to be here yesterday. It's been bouncing around 2 states clear on the other end of the country. I'll change my review if it ever shows up at my door.
by: Larry 04/10/2024
Fit good and easy to install
by: Chris F02/16/2020
They fit truck just like they were supposed too. Couple hr install with having to remove spare tire and heat shields to get access to bolt locations. Been supporting fifth wheel through thousands of miles. Thanks for helping me find right product for my truck!
by: 08/23/2023
The item looks great but the brackets are both for the passenger side of the truck. I called and etrailer is shipping out another set. My only real complaint is delayed shipping and I am now running behind on my install.
by: Marlon09/05/2022
Fits great and works well on my 2005 Sierra 1500 ( 5 1/2 )short bed.
by: Wayde C03/21/2017
The kit arrived within a few days-very happy about that. very easy to install. the directions were clear and pictures good. I went to the trouble of using a sharpie to mark the part numbers on everything before I started just to keep to all straight.
I would note that on the 2017 F350 diesel the only problem bolt was on the driver side inline with the DEF tank. long skinny arms with flexible wrist is ideal (not what I have). I would also suggest taping the shims onto the outboard frame brackets to save yourself some frustrations. otherwise they are difficult to get and keep in place, especially on the driver side.
the two nuts that go inside the frame tube come on/with a nice handle although a bit light on the wield. here again save yourself and tape the shims on before you try to insert two things into that hole, align and fasten the bolt-by yourself. I used an extension with wobble head and socket to turn the bolt while holding the nut "assembly" in place.
I did remove the rear wheels and fender well liner-a must.
Lastly, great customer service on the phone. Pleasant and patient answering questions.

The product was fine but the service from the etrailer folks Is excellent. I had issues with my order (my fault) and they did everything they needed to do to get my issues resolved. Their service was very much appreciated!
by: Randy02/26/2018
Installing 2017 5th wheel brackets and rails . Thankyou for your service in sending me the right parts for my F250 . Took about 4 hrs to install and all holes were perfect in the side brackets . Just had to drill for the rail. I’d recommend your service...
by: Leon04/23/2020
Used it 3 times so far, does what it’s supposed to, the brackets fit the frame very good. Very happy with the setup.
by: Ronald 03/15/2024
Great product. Easy to order, easy inst all
by: Leonard07/30/2023
Perfect fit, easy install. Appears to be be a quality product. Shipping was both great and terrible. The brackets sit at my UPS 2 days before they would deliver. UPS kept showing processing for delivery.
by: Bryan S04/27/2011
What an interesting product to install. The mounting to the frame is easy. Getting the bolts through the bed and putting the nuts and washers on the bottom take a lot of patience. There is not a lot of room for your hands to fit between the bed and the frame. I took my spare tire down and I was able to sit under my truck that helped a lot.

- 5th Wheel Mounting Bracket for Reese Base Rails on 2018 Ram 2500So it sounds like you have Reese base rails and want just the 5th wheel installation kit for your 2018 Ram 2500. You can get the entire bracket kit for your truck, but it comes as a set with four brackets and front and rear brackets by themselves are not available individually, it does require getting the whole set. The correct bracket kit is going to depend on the base rails that you have. - Reese Universal Base Rails # RP58058 will require the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit...
view full answer... - Replacement Brackets and Hardware for Reese Fifth Wheel Trailer HitchIf your rails are Reese rails then the install bracket kit you need is # RP50054 for inboard brackets and kit # RP56009 if you have outboard brackets. The easiest way to tell which kit you need is to meaure your base rails. Inboard brackets will fit 43 inch rails and outboard brackets fit 48 inch rails. If your base rails are not Reese rails, let me know which brand they are and I'll find the correct hardware kit for you.
view full answer... - Reese Outboard Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit Recommendation for 2018 Ram 2500The Reese fifth wheel rail kit part # RP56001-53 that you had installed on your 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD would not fit a 2018 Ram 2500 as they are totally different trucks. You'd be able to reuse the rails though if you went with the bracket kit # RP56009. This bracket kit with your outboard Reese rails would be all you'd need to install rails in your new 2018 Ram.
view full answer... - Base Rail Brackets Needed for Installing Outboard Base Rails on a 2008 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500I do have custom outboard brackets for your 2008 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500, but the brackets kit # RP56009 that you referenced is not the correct kit. Instead you will want the kit part # RP56011 to use with your Universal Outboard Base Rails # RP30153. The brackets come with hardware, but if you don't have new hardware for your base rails (as hardware is only supposed to be torqued down once) you will need the Replacement Hardware Kit # RP58504 as well. I have also linked installation...
view full answer... - Truck Bed 5th Wheel Mounting Brackets for 2014 Ram 2500The Reese # RP56009 is a frame bracket kit, which contains the frame brackets and the hardware to mount them to the frame. Since these brackets connect to the bed rails on the OUTBOARD side of the frame and not above it, standard length bed rails like those included with the # RP30035 universal install kit. You'll need longer rails, part # RP30153 which include hardware for attaching to the frame brackets. If you click the provided link, you can see a product description video for the...
view full answer... - Outboard Reese Fifth Wheel Rail Kit for 2019 Ram 2500Since you have the Outboard Reese fifth wheel rails the correct Reese fifth wheel bracket kit for them and your 2019 Ram 2500 would be the part # RP56009. With your rails and this bracket kit you'd essentially have the rail kit part # RP56009-53 which I attached an install video for.
view full answer... - Hardware for 2015 Ram 2500 5th Wheel RailsThe parts you referenced for your 2015 Ram 2500, # RP50054 Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit and # RP58430 Replacement Hardware Kit, are both a fit for the 43 inch Reese rails # RP58058. I contacted the manufacturer and the cylindrical spacers you are referring to are included in the # RP50054 kit. I'd recommend you double-check the base rails and frame brackets to make sure they are the same manufacturer. It is not recommended to mix brands between the base rails and frame brackets.
view full answer... - Will Custom Fit Under Bed Brackets Fit Pro Series Universal 5th Wheel Rails in a 2015 Ram 2500The rails that are included with universal install kit # RP30035 for Reese 5th wheel hitch # RP30035 are the shorter rails. The brackets, # RP56009, are designed for the new, longer rails # RP30153, so they would not work together but there is something that will work. You could use brackets # RP50054 for a 2015 Ram 2500 and the rails that come with the universal kit or just get the whole custom kit with the brackets and rails # RP50054-58. I have included a link to a video showing installation...
view full answer... - Reese Fifth Wheel Rail and Bracket Kit Recommendation for 2016 Ram 2500 Short BedFor your 2016 Ram 2500 short bed the Reese bracket kit part # RP56009 is the correct fit. But since it sounds like you don't have a matching set of Reese rails to go along with this you'd need the kit that includes them as well with part # RP50069-53. As long as your PullRite hitch is the style that fits the industry standard rails (ISR) then it will work with this kit. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Reese Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit Recommendation for 2017 Ram 2500 without Factory Rail KitFor your 2017 Ram 2500 without the factory rail kit the Reese fifth wheel bracket kit part # RP50054 that you referenced will fit your Reese rails. These are part of the inboard rail kit part # RP50054-58. You'd need new hardware for the rails to attach to the bracket kit as these bolts are one time use. For that you'd need part # RP58430. If instead you have the longer outboard rails you'd need the part # RP56009 which is a part of the # RP56009-53.
view full answer... - Outboard Or Inboard 5th Wheel Installation Kit 2014 Ram 2500An outboard 5th wheel installation kit will be much easier to install compared to an inboard 5th wheel installation kit. In most cases, the frame brackets used on an outboard kit will have mounting bolts that attach outside the frame rail. On inboard installation kits, the frame brackets have mounting bolts that will be on the inside of the frame rail. The longer base rails for the outboard kit are required because the mounting holes are outside the frame rail and not inside the frame rail...
view full answer... - Installing 5th Wheel Hitch Base Rails in 2015 Ram 2500 With and Without Factory Prep PackageIf your 2015 Ram 2500 with 6-foot bed has the factory 5th wheel prep package you can install any industry-standard 5th wheel hitch by using the Reese 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # RP30154. This adapter drops into the factory pucks in the bed and provides the equivalent of standard 5th wheel base rails that will accept most industry-standard sliders like Curt # C16560. If the truck does not have the factory puck system and you want to re-use your existing 5th wheel base rails you can use Reese...

Instead, I recommend taking a look at the: -Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Brackets for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP56009, for the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP56009-53.
