  • Recommended 5th Wheel Rails for a 1999 Ford F-550
  • To use the Curt A30 5th Wheel Hitch item # C66HR on a 1999 Ford F-550, you're going to need to use the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit item # C16200. There are no custom fit kits for the cab and chassis models so these will require some drilling to get set up. Don't forget your lube plate. The Lube Plate for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10" Diameter item # 16721 will prevent scratches on your fifth-wheel's skid plate and ease trailer hookup. I saw you were...

  • Hey Scott, so since the Super Glide 2700 fifth wheel hitch was designed to fit the industry standard fifth wheel rails all you'd need is a set like the B and W part # BWRVK2503 which is custom fit for your truck and provides the type of rails your hitch needs. The B and W rails are a custom fit kit that will install without frame drilling and also cost a lot less than other options so its' the way to go.

  • Do Curt Fifth Wheel Rails Fit with Firestone Air Bag Kit 2008 Ford F-350
  • The Firestone air bag kit part # F2550 that you have installed on your 2008 Ford F-350 was designed to fit with in-bed rail kits like the Curt # C16448-204 that you want to install so they two will fit well together and would not require any special install steps.

  • Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit that Could be Used for 2002 Dodge Ram 2500
  • Hey Travis, so we have several different options for fifth wheel bracket options but since we can't recommend mixing brands between the bracket and rail kits I would need to know what brand rails you have to recommend a bracket kit. If you had the very common Reese rails you'd need the bracket kit part # RP30439.

  • Where Exactly Do Demco Fifth Wheel Rails Sit in Bed of 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed
  • Hey Scott, to place the rear rail of the Demco fifth wheel rail kit part # DM39FR in the bed of your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed you will measure 32-1/8 inches from the rear edge of the truck bed to the center of the rear rail. Once that's set you'd want to use the hitch # DM8550034 to place the front rail by setting it in the rear rail. This ensures the rails are placed perfectly for the hitch, but it will be right at 22 inches in front of the rear rail.

  • Can 30k Curt Fifth Wheel Leg Kit Fit Curt PowerRide Fifth Wheel Hitch Head
  • The PowerRide head part # C56WR can't be used with the current Curt leg kit you have now unfortunately so if you wanted a PowerRide that fits the GM rail kit the solution you'd need is the complete hitch part # C36WR.

  • Is There A Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch That Can Be Transferred From A Ford F-150 To A F-250?
  • Yes there is. The Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550034 is one option that could potentially be used in a Ford F-150 or F-250. This hitch is made to work with the industry standard fifth wheel rails, so provided both trucks have standard fifth wheel rails in the bed, the hitch will be transferrable. That said, if both trucks do have the industry standard fifth wheel rails in the bed, pretty much any sliding 5th wheel hitch would be transferrable. As long as the hitch is...

  • Will Curt's 5TH Wheel Rails Fit With Ride-Rite Air Springs On a 2013 Ford F-150 6-1/2' bed?
  • Your Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2525 are not going to be compatible with the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16441-204. It does appear to install any hitch with custom side plates you would have to switch to a different set of Air Springs like the Air Lift for 2WD # AL88228 or 4WD # AL88200. Otherwise if you install the rails with the Universal Kit # C16200 then you could use the Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 16055 you found. Do note the universal...

  • Can Furrion Vision S be Installed on Fifth Wheel without Pre-Wiring
  • Hey Doug, yes you can install the Furrion Vision S 3 Camera system part # FCE48TASL-05 on a fifth wheel that is not pre-wired. It comes with a mount that you can put on the rear of the trailer and then you'd basically just need to run your running light circuit to each of the cameras and you'd be good. Basically the pre-wiring is just the running light circuit ran to the rear of trailer so it's not a super elaborate deal.

  • How To Find Out If The Reese Spacer Kit Works With Reese Airborne Sidewinder On 2024 Artic Fox
  • To verify the Spacer Kit # RP61301 will work on your particular Reese Airborne Sidewinder I will need to know the model number off the pin box as well as the LCI frame tag located on the mounting arm of your 2024 Artic Fox 27-5. With these numbers I will be able to verify the bolt patterns are all going to line up correctly as there are several different possibilities out there and not all model 5th wheels will always use the same pin box.

  • What Rail Kit Does 2007 GMC Sierra Have Pucks 30 inches Apart
  • Hey Jon, so someone installed a Reese Elite rail kit in the bed of your 2007 GMC Sierra which happens to be the same as the current Ford OEM puck kits so you could use a hitch designed for that like the. B and W Companion # BWRVK3300 which is widely considered to be the best hitch around due to how well it is made and easy to use it is.

  • Best Fifth Wheel and Gooseneck Hitch Solution for 2024 Ford F-350 without OEM Pucks
  • Hey Miguel, this is a great question but I think your first though of going with the B and W setup is the best. So for that you'd want the part # BWRVK3500 for the fifth wheel hitch and then for the rail kit that also doubles as a gooseneck hitch you'd want the part # BW83FR which also doubles as a gooseneck hitch. This gives you exactly what you are looking for. Ability to tow a fifth wheel hitch, a gooseneck hitch, and then when not needed a totally clean truck bed. The Companion hitches...

  • How Much Sag Reduction will Timbren Installed On Truck Towing Fifth Wheel
  • Hey Brian, this is a great question but I can't really tell you exactly how much sag would be reduced with the Timbren kit part # TGMRCK25D but I'd say it would pretty easily take out at least half of the sag. I'd say under normal circumstances it would sag probably right at 1 to 1-1/2 inches. If you are slightly nose high currently then yeah I would assume you'd need to slightly adjust the hitch head height.

  • Can Curt A20 Sliding Hitch be Used With Reese Revolution on 5th Wheel Trailer
  • Yes, you can use the sliding Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R20 Slider # C16541 or S20 Slider # C55DR with the Reese Revolution kingpin so long as you lock out the hitch so it does not slide. In that case it will work just the same as any other non-sliding 5th wheel hitch. Also, I did want to mention that if you need base rails for your 2006 Ford F-350 the correct part (that is also compatible with the A20) is the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ford # C16448-204.

  • Hey Kent, that would be all of the info I would need to determine what the correct hub/drum kit would be for your 2017 KZ Sportsman 231RK. I would recommend the etrailer part # AKHD-545-35-K which is exactly what you need, come pre-greased with the bearings installed so it's ready to pop on, and also the price is better than most other options.

  • What is the Best Automatic Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2024 Ford F-250
  • Hey Earl, thanks for reaching out! There are two main competitors for the top spot of automatic 5th wheel hitches; the Demco Hijacker and the PullRite SuperGlide. While we only carry the Hijacker, I've looked into the SuperGlide enough that I can point out the main differences and why the Hijacker edges past the SuperGlide. Both options feature 14" of sliding clearance and can be installed in either OEM puck systems or industry standard rails (ISR), but there are the main differences...
