It is designed to fit the 2002 to 2012 Dodge Ram and Dodge 1500, 2500, 3500 trucks without over lift springs. 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 and model vehicle. And it'll show you if this part will work for your application.Now, these 10 bolt base rails, these are what'll sit in your truck bed and provide the necessary attachment points for your fifth wheel trailer hitch. The universal brackets and the semi-custom bracket will mount beneath your truck bed to provide attachment points for your fifth wheel rails. The semi-custom bracket will basically install on the passenger side on the rail nearest the bumper that basically replaces one of the universal brackets.Now, these rails are compatible with hitches by Curt, Drawtight, Kid and Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley, and most standard fifth wheel hitches.

They will not fit the Reese Elite series or the Valley UBS hitches.These parts are all a sturdy steel construction with a nice black powder coat finish that helps resist corrosion. This kit will include everything shown on the table. The two base rails, the universal brackets, the semi-custom bracket, all the hardware you need to install it, and even a nice set of detailed instructions on how to install everything.But should do it on the review of the Reese Semi-Custom Base Rail and Installation Kit for fifth wheel trailer hitches on the Dodge Ram and Ram trucks.

Works great no issues. I use it for my back drag plow 16 feet. Very satisfied highly recommend



by:

Purchased a reese 16,000 lbs. fifth wheel to tow a 10,000 lbs. trailer. The product is duel jaw, and works great after a year of towing. I may recommend purchasing the movable mount if installing it in a 6.5' bed. Modifying the installment, I moved my 5th wheel rearward approximately 10" so as I met the cab clearance. Works perfectly.

Easy to install, the rails have handled everything I pull with it. Two skidloader a and a camper. Just wish bolts where grade eights



by:
2012 Dodge Ram Pickup

Great product and easy to follow direction. The only issue I ran into was getting the bolts through the frame on my 2012 Ram 2500. The provided wires to pull the bolts through were not long enough to reach the access hole in the frame. I had to tape the wire to an extension. Other than that, directions were spot on.

  • Fifth Wheel Towing Setup Recommendation for a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Short Bed with Gooseneck Hitch
    To install the Reese fifth wheel rail kit part # RP30035-023 in your 2006 Dodge Ram would require you to remove the Blue Ox gooseneck hitch you have. So if you are in a situation where you need to be able to tow both a fifth wheel trailer and a gooseneck trailer you would need an adapter to allow you to tow the fifth wheel trailer. The most popular option for that is the # CAB-C5GX1216 which is an adapter that will install on the pin box of your trailer and will allow it to connect to...

    Yes, your Husky 5th Wheel EZ roller 16K hitch will work in your 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab shortbed truck. You will need the Reese Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for the 2003 Dodge Ram, item # RP50040-58, see instructions link. This custom install kit will be much quicker to install and require less drilling, while providing the same towing capacities as the Reese Semi-Custom Base Rail Installation Kit, # RP30035-023, that your referenced.

  • Does Reese Mounting Bracket for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP58023 Fit a 2012 Ram 3500
    Bracket # RP58023 does fit the 2012 Ram 3500. It comes with installation kit # RP30035-023. You mentioned that your truck has the Ram Box feature. There are specific parts needed to be able to tow a 5th wheel trailer on Rams that have the Ram Boxes. Basically, because the bed on Ram Box models is narrower than on the standard beds, what will happen is during a turn the pin box will hit the bed sides. To prevent damage to the truck and trailer the fix for this is to use a stationary 5th...

  • 5th Wheel Recommendations for 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab with 5-1/2-Foot Bed
    We do have an option for you, but it will not be the installation kit # RP30035-023 as it will not fit the 5-1/2-foot bed of your 2009 Dodge Ram 1500. After speaking with representatives of Reese who are currently visiting us here at etrailer, I recommend the Reese Semi-Custom Base Rail Installation Kit # RP30035-386 as it features a mounting kit made specifically for your truck. The kit includes base rails, universal brackets, semi-custom brackets, and hardware. I have provided links...

  • Rear Rail Location for a Reese Semi-Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit on a 2003 Dodge Ram
    On your 2003 Dodge Ram, you will need to measure from the rear edge of the truck bed forward 28-5/16 inches. This is where the rear edge of the rear rail will sit when installing the Semi-Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit # RP30035-023. I have included some instructions links for this kit for you. There are also some custom installation kits that will require less installation time. I would just need to know if you have a 1500, 2500, or 3500, with or without overload springs, and what cab size.

    The RBW Lil Rocker 5th wheel trailer hitch will fit in standard above the bed rails from Reese, Curt, or Husky. The hitch can easily be removed from the rails but the rails will permanently be in the truck bed. The rails will only be minimally invasive though and it should work out well for you. For a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab short bed I recommend the semi-custom installation kit # RP30035-023. There will only be minimal drilling to install this hitch (when compared to a universal...

    Reese Replacement Hardware Kit # RP30074F is not a complete 5th wheel installation kit, just a replacement hardware kit. For an industry-standard 5th wheel hitch base rail installation kit confirmed to fit your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega cab, I recommend the custom-fit kit # RP50140-58 from Reese. This kit will take less time to install than a semi-custom kit like # RP30035-023, which requires frame drilling. This kit includes industry-standard rails (ISRs), under-bed brackets and all hardware...

    The Reese Semi-Custom Base Rail and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30035-023 are only designed to work with select Ram models up to 2013 and would not be a compatible fit for your 2021 Ram 1500 Big Horn. You would need a kit like the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP56018-53 instead.

If you do have a short bed, you would need a slider hitch to provide additional clearance for making tight turns. You can add a slider to the Pro Series head using # RP50024. I have included a link to the installation instructions for the kit for you to view.

    The rail kit that comes with the Pro Series 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Square Tube Slider, Rails and Install Kit # PS30129 will technically fit your 2003 Dodge Ram with an 8' bed when using the Bracket # RP58023 since the rails are universal, but I recommend going with a different kit that is similarly priced. This is an entry-level setup and the 5th wheel hitch uses a slide bar jaw which is very basic and will make your ride uncomfortable and you will feel your trailer pushing and pulling you. Instead...

  • Recommended Hitch and Fifth Wheel Install Kit for 2008 Dodge Ram Quad Cab Short Bed
    For your 2008 Ram Quad Cab, I would recommend the Reese Custom Install Kit, part # RP50040-58 which is compatible with all but the Mega Cab model. The custom install kit takes about half the time to install as the # RP30035-023, and would require no drilling into the frame to install. Because you have the short bed, you will need a sliding fifth wheel hitch unless your fifth wheel is fitted with a Sidewinder. The Reese # RP30083 is the sliding version of the # RP30081 you referenced....

  • Can a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 with 4.7L V8 Tow a 5th Wheel Trailer
    The towing capacity of a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 will vary based on tire size, bed length, transmission type, axle ratio, and drive style. If you can provide me with all of these metrics then I would be happy to provide you with an exact towing capacity for your Ram 1500. However, it looks like the most well equipped model only has a maximum towing capacity of 7,300 lbs. Therefore, the weight of your 5th wheel trailer cannot exceed 7,300 lbs. The length of the trailer is more or less irreverent...

    You'll want to choose a fifth wheel hitch whose weight capacity exceeds the fully loaded weight of your fifth wheel. A 20K capacity hitch like the Curt Q20, part # C16130, will provide plenty of capacity in most instances. The hitch uses a dual jaw that will hold the fifth wheel king pin very tightly. This will make for a more comfortable ride, as the king pin won't be rattling around in the hitch jaws. You'll also need an install kit. A universal kit is available, part # RP30035-023,...
