Expert Answers about Chevrolet Fifth Wheel Installation Kit


  • Fifth Wheel Rails for Reese Rail Kit of 2008 Dodge Ram 2500
  • Good job finding the rail kit part number! That means that at one point it has the part # RP50040-58 installed so for replacement rails you'd need the # RP58058 which comes with new install hardware as well. Then for an air bag kit the Firestone kit part # F2701 is the best option that provides the highest quality air bags. Then for a 7-way kit to install in the bed of the truck you would want the part # HM42137.

  • Easiest to Install Fifth Wheel Rail Kit for 2018 Ram 2500
  • Custom fit fifth wheel rail kits are the easiest to install since they don't require frame drilling. They cut the install time in half when compared to a universal kit as well. So for your 2018 Ram 2500 the Curt rail kit part # C16427-204 would be your easiest to install option. Then for a hitch the Curt A16 slider hitch part # C16541 would be a really great option that has a slider to help with turning clearance and also has a great jaw design that gives excellent king pin contact to minimize...

  • Best Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500
  • The fifth wheel hitch I most often recommend is the Companion by B&W, because of how well constructed, durable and easy to use it is. The Companion uses an extremely strong 1 inch thick hitch jaw that tightly holds the fifth wheel king pin. This provides for a great ride, unlike some of the entry level hitches where the king pin can rattle around in the hitch, transferring each one of those bangs and crashes to the tow vehicle. The actual hitch you need will depend on whether your hitch...

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 5-1/2 foot Bed
  • The Trailboss fifth wheel hitch you have is designed to fit industry standard fifth wheel rails so for a rail kit that is compatible with it and your 2017 GMC 1500 5-1/2 foot bed you'd want the # RP50064-58 which is a custom install kit. Custom kits are much easier to install as they minimize drilling and install time. Since you have such a short bed you will need to replace your current pin box with a Sidewinder so that you can make tight turns without interference. You will need to...

  • Replacement Hardware For The Curt Custom-Fit Fifth Wheel Brackets # 16418
  • We currently only carry the replacement hardware for universal base rail kits so you would need to either reach out to Curt directly to get the necessary hardware or purchase the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC - Gloss Finish # C16418-104, which would have the hardware, but also the brackets.

  • What is the Best Fifth Wheel Hitch that Fits Factory Rail Kit of 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 Long Bed
  • The best fifth wheel hitch that fits the factory rail kit of your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500HD is the B and W Companion part # BWRVK3710 which fits the rail kit directly and gives what most RVers agree is the best hitch you can get. What's so great about the Companion hitches is that they are made in the USA, are very well made so they last a long time and also are easier to use/operate, the head easily comes off of the hitch to help make removing/installing the hitch a bit easier, but most...

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2015 Ram 1500 with Air Suspension
  • At one point there wasn't a fifth wheel rail kit that fit the 2015 Ram 1500 trucks with air suspension but that has recently changed and the part # RP50142-58 will fit all models of the truck. If you have a 6-1/2 foot bed you'd need a slider hitch like part # C95DR, if you have a long bed you'd want a stationary hitch part # RP30047.

  • Availability of Indicator Flag Assembly for Reese, Draw-Tite, and Hidden Hitch Fifth Wheels
  • I have the Draw-Tite Signature Series Replacement Indicator Flag Kit, part # 58216. This is the indicator flag assembly that fits the Draw-Tite, Reese, and Hidden Hitch Fifth Wheels. It attaches to the fifth wheel head assembly and will indicate if the trailer is properly connected to the fifth wheel hitch. If the trailer is not properly connected this flag assembly will keep you from inserting the bail pin into the handle and base plate of the fifth wheel. I also have the Reese Signature...

  • Shock Kit Recommendation for 2020 Sandpiper Fifth Wheel
  • The Lippert Shock Kit part # LC281281 would work great on your 2020 Sandpiper fifth wheel. This is a kit for a single axle so for yours that is a tandem axle you'd need a quantity of two of these. These also are for 5,200-7,000 lb axles which I believe is what you have on your camper but it would be a good idea to verify. Looks like the GVWR of your camper is 13,699 lbs which would match up with two 7k axles like what this kit has so I would be willing to bet that it's correct.

  • Fifth Wheel Installation Rails for 15K Reese Hitch
  • We certainly have the rails you are needing. If you need the entire Universal Install Kit with the rails that mount in the bed along with the brackets and hardware to attach the rails to the truck frame, you will need part # RP30035. If you are needing just the rails themselves, use part # RP58058. The rails do not come with hardware to bolt to the brackets, so if you need the hardware you should also order part # RP58430. Depending on the year, make and model of your truck, there might...

  • What is the Correct Replacement Head Pivot Springs for My Reese Elite RE 18K Fifth Wheel Hitch
  • We do have a replacement for you but the Replacement Head Pivot Spring Kit for Select Plus Fifth Wheel Hitch - 16K # 58257 will not be the right one, it is only for 16K fifth wheel hitches.

This is the replacement for Reese Elite Series Fifth Wheel Hitches, 18K and higher.

  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2015 Ford F-150 with Fifth Wheel Hitch
  • The air bag kits we offer aren't for the purpose of lifting a vehicle unless you mean lifting it 3 inches when under load as a way to get rid of suspension sag. What I would recommend for suspension enhancement would actually be the Timbren part # TFR1504E as it would not interfere with any fifth wheel brackets and would give you the same suspension support without having to maintain air pressure in any bags.
