Reese's outboard installation kit for your fifth-wheel trailer hitch was designed with safety and convenience in mind. Just like the original custom mounting brackets, these brackets install using existing holes in the truck frame, minimizing installation time. The biggest difference with this outboard kit is the extended-length rails. These above-bed rails are 5 inches longer than standard, universal fifth-wheel rails so that they will match up with the mounting points on the brackets, which sit below the bed and outside of your truck's frame. The result is a much simpler installation process, wherein most underbed components can be easily avoided. Because you are working outside the frame rails, you also have easier access with your tools and more room to work, making the whole process less of a pain.
The base rails included in this installation kit feature a standard 10-bolt design. Each of these rails attaches to the underbed brackets with two carriage bolts at both ends. A single bolt is used in the center of each rail to further secure it in your truck bed. The result is a set of base rails that remains firmly in place thanks to 10 points of contact.
This entire installation kit is built to be SAE J2638 compliant and has been extensively tested per specified accelerated-life-cycle criteria for fifth-wheel trailer hitches. The requirements for testing are based on the European-style test of 900,000 cycles, making this testing process among the most thorough and intensive in the industry.

The custom hitch kit fit my f150 perfectly and the etrailer staff were extremely helpful in making sure I ordered the correct kit for the year of my truck. Etrailer is an outstanding company to do business with and I would highly recommend them.

Very patent in regards to them answering all my concern questions. E-Trailer knew exactly what I needed for my new Ford F-150 aluminum truck bed. If the product did not fit, there was no problem to return within 60 days. Delivery was on time. The tracking system was perfect. The follow up was great. The fifth wheel was installed by others, and I am very happy with E-Trailer. Thanks Guys!!!!

Watch the video; makes the job more straightforward. Workmanship and quality were very good; I was dismayed to to find my parts package torn and missing a bolt. Took some real digging to find what turns out to be a very non-standard type of bolt (Grade 8 Carriage)... finally found one in a mechanics toolbox at a local trailer rental place as I needed it right away for a trip. Finally, after getting through my first installation, I could probably do it in 4 hours as there has been a lot of thought and engineering put into the custom kit. First time installers should expect spending more like 6-8 hours for the job.

picked them up last weekend. haven't installed them but my other unit was for my 2013 Ford 1/2 ton and they were the over the rail brackets which I could not torque to 100 lbs.
these will be a no brainer to install.
by: MAC09/22/2015
Outboard installation with custom mounts is the only way to go!
Save yourself alot of grief and remove both rear wheels to install. Instruction set is not quite writen to this particular kit. For the needed tool set they require a 1.25 hole saw that you never use. The cat wisker feed wires are fantastic, give that guy a raise for coming up with that idea. Forgett the little insulator squares they give you. Use heavy clear packing tape and wrap two layers on all spacers and the fingers of the custom mounts.

I ordered fifth wheel hitch rails for my truck on a Friday and I paid for the 3 day shipping and they already arrived on Monday. Super easy to navigate the website and when I asked a question about mounting and which rails and kingpin I needed they responded very quickly!

Installed on my 2017 F-150 Supercrew. Not a no drill install as sold but with a couple of tools it’s a 2 hour install at most. Local RV dealer wanted 1600 for hitch and install and additional 150 for the light plug. I got it all for Etrailer.com for 850 and about two hours later I saved myself a ton of money!

view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2017 Ford F-150 for Installing Older Reese HitchSounds like you are referring to a fifth wheel rail kit that fits between the wheel wells which is what the hitch attaches to. For a rail kit you would need the part # RP56034-53 but since your truck has a 5-1/2 foot bed your trailer will need to have a Sidewinder installed on it. You will need to remove the pin box of the trailer and replace it with a Sidewinder pin box. Sidewinders are pin box specific so you will first need to know what pin box you have now in order to pick out the...

- Are Reese 5th Wheel Rail Galvanic Isolators Required on 2017 F-150 with Spray-On Bed LinerA sprayed-in bed liner on your 2017 Ford F-150's aluminum bed will serve the same isolating function as the galvanic isolator strips supplied with Reese 5th wheel rail kits like # RP56034-53 so you will not need to use them above the bed. But you are 100-percent right that you will still need to use them below the bed where the uncoated aluminum is exposed.

You may need to loosen your assembly slightly to get them to stack correctly, but that is the proper installation. I do not recommend moving the bolt away from the corrugation because this installation is exactly what has been tested regarding...
view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for 2015 Ford F-150 with Short BedWe have a number of 5th wheel trailer hitch options available for your 2015 Ford F-150 short bed. If you have a 5-1/2 foot bed, the best solution is to use a fixed 5th wheel hitch and use a Sidewinder pin box on the trailer. A Sidewinder pin box moves the pivot point of the trailer back 22 inches to provide the needed clearance between the cab and front of the 5th wheel to make turns. If you have a 6-1/2 foot truck bed you need a sliding hitch. The sliding hitch is necessary for a 6-1/2...

This is where the back edge of the rear rails will be. Then what you would do is get that rail into position and use the hitch, or just its legs, to locate the position of the forward rail. The back edge of the front rail will be approximately 22 inches forward of the back edge of the...

- Base Rails for 2015 Ford F-150 With 5 Foot 6 Inch Bed to Tow Fifth Wheel TrailerThe best option for base rails for your 2015 Ford F-150 is a custom install kit, the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # RP56034-53 because it does not require any drilling into your truck's frame to install.
view full answer... - Does Reese Fifth Wheel Rail Kit RP56034-53 Fit 2022 Ford F-150 and Pro Series Fifth Wheel HitchYes, the Reese fifth wheel rail kit part # RP56034-53 is the correct fit for your 2022 Ford F-150 and is also a fit for your Pro Series fifth wheel hitch as well. This is the outboard style of rail kit that has brackets that attach to the outer sides of the truck frame instead of the inner side which is why the rails are longer at 48 inches compared to what you had previous. The outboard style rail kits are much easier to install but the rails are a little longer.

These brackets fit all models besides Raptor's or if there are ride height sensors. Please note, these are outboard brackets which means you need the longer 58" rails like part # RP30153 or you can just purchase the kit part # RP56034-53. These are the only Reese brackets available for this truck, they will fit all bed sizes.

If you do have a 2017 F-250 the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Outboard Installation Kit # RP56017-53 is the correct kit. Each of these kits will work with your aluminum bed because they come with galvanic isolator strips that are placed on the bottom surface of each rail so no additional hardware...

view full answer... - Recommended 16K 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2018 Ford F-150For your 2018 Ford F-150 with the 6-1/2' bed, I recommend taking a look at the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30047. The Reese hitch has a 2 jaw locking system which provides more jaw-to-king-pin contact than slide-bar models. The 4-way pivoting head helps with hooking up your trailer on unlevel ground. The height of the hitch head can also be adjusted from 14-1/2" to 18". You are correct in that you will not need a sliding hitch if you have a rotating pin box. In order to install...

It will give you base rails that are slightly longer than standard but are still compatible with all industry standard hitch fits. The Reese Round Tube Slider for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10" Travel - 20,000 lbs # RP50024 will absolutely work well with those base rails.

You will need to add the Reese # RP56034-53 Quick-Install installation kit for a custom mount under the bed of your truck. Features sturdy black powder coated steel that resists corrosion. Should you want to change to a different hitch at a later date, the universal mounting rail is compatible with most B&W, Curt, Demco Hijacker, Draw-Tite, Husky, and Valley above-bed hitches.
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for a 2015 Ford F-150 Short BedFor your 2015 Ford F-150 with a short bed you would want the fifth wheel rail install kit part # RP56034-53. These rails are industry standard rails that will work well with your Husky slider hitch. The install kit I recommended is a custom install kit that will install in about half the time as a universal kit and will minimize drilling. If your truck has a 5-1/2 foot bed the only way you would be able to tow a trailer is if you went with a Sidewinder pin box. You will need to remove...

view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Hitch & Install Kit Recommendation for 2015 Ford F-150 Short Bed with Reese RevolutionThe Reese Revolution pin boxes are the way to go for short bed trucks. They make towing with a short bed truck much easier than using a slider hitch. For a custom fifth wheel rail kit for your 2015 Ford F-150 the Reese Kit part # RP56034-53 is going to be the easiest to install since this is an outboard style. I attached an install video. For a fifth wheel hitch you will want to go with a stationary hitch since you have the Revolution. The 16k Reese part # RP30047 would be an excellent...
