Today we're going to be reviewing part number RP-50082. This is the Reese Quick Install Custom Bracket Kit for Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitches. The custom brackets are designed to mount beneath your truck bed to provide attachment points for your fifth wheel rails. Those base rails and the hardware for that is going to be sold separately; you can find that right here at etrailer.com with part number RP-58058. Now those rails are designed to sit inside the truck bed and they are the ones that are going to allow installation of the fifth wheel trailer hitch. But you do need the custom brackets.
Just wanted you know that the custom brackets are what you're going to get with RP-50082 and then the base rails and the hardware for the base rails are sold separately. Now this system that you see here is designed to fit 1999 to 2010 Ford Super Duty F2-50 but 350 trucks and 2008 to 2010 F-450 trucks. They are vehicle-specific brackets that are designed to mount to the existing holes in your vehicle's frame. Having the vehicle-specific feature is a great advantage. It's going to minimize the amount of drilling and the amount of measurement required, and it's going to cut your installation time in half when compared to universal bracket systems. This kit's going to include the custom brackets and you're going to get all the necessary hardware for complete installation of these custom brackets.
They're made from a nice, steel construction, and they have a really nice, black powder-coated finish that's designed to really help it stand up well against rusting and corrosion. You're also going to get detailed instructions. These are really nice. They're going to walk you through, step by step, how to get this installed on your particular vehicle. That's going to do it for today's review of part number RP-50082. This is the Reese Quick Install Custom Bracket Kit for Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitches.

Custom brackets reduce the amount of drilling and time required to install your fifth-wheel trailer hitch. Hardware included. Base rails sold separately.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.

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.
I just recently purchased the custom bracket kit RP50082 and got to say that its a very good product easy to install with no problems. Custom bracket attaches right to the frame. Product arrived quickly and I was able to have attached within days of ordering. Thank you
These Brackets Installed quick and very little trouble.Very Happy
These custom bracket made installation with 4 bolt rail kit on my F250 an easy and strong setup. They also put ball closest to axle center in my short bed diesel with 5" stacks.
No drilling...just bolt on.
To start with, the representatives I spoke to on the phone were amazing. Julie and Kim were super friendly and really new their products. Cudos to etrailer and their staff.
Now about the RP50082. It is a solid product! Shipping was fast, too. Had it not been for the air-lift air bags I already had on my truck installation would have been a breeze. The fit was perfect. I just followed the directions and it fit like a glove, even the holes I drilled through the bed were right on. Measure twice, drill once, perfect.
Re-installing the air bags was a bit more difficult. I was able to use the original mounting brackets by locating them right over the RP50082's. I had to held them in position, marked and drilled new holes through both the RP50082's and the frame. I got some longer grade 8 bolts to allow for the added thickness and it all bolted up fine. You just have to be careful drilling the holes so you don't hit anything hidden inside the frame.
This was my first etrailer purchase and it definitely won't be my last. Thanks etrailer.
Great product, bolted right up and saved a lot of time over the universal brackets I had on the old truck. Super fast delivery. The staff was very helpful making sure they would fit my existing rails. Thank you
I had a unique situation where the previous owner incorrectly installed Reese bed rails using the 4 stock bolt holes that hold the bed in place. After reading the 10-bolt installation instructions, I ordered this kit because the rails were already mounted directly above the bed's U-channels. I simply drilled out the holes in the ends of the rails, installed these brackets and added 10 more bolts to the rails! Very straight forward and easy to install (except install the u-bolt that holds the brackets to the frame first on the passenger's side before bolting on the bracket so it clears the shock-- '06 F350). Oh, and the prompt shipping, great communication and excellent customer service from Bob ensures I will keep coming back!
Purchased these brackets to retrofit a rail and hitch system I already had on a truck we bought. The brackets were good quality and were a perfect match for the frame. The layout instructions made the hole drilling for the rails very easy. My only fault with the whole kit was that the instruction schematic could have been a lot better. Other than that it was a breeze. I had the whole hitch installed in about 2 1/2 hours by myself, mostly in the dark with a head lamp. The staff I talked to on the phone was extremely helpful in making sure I got the exact parts I needed for my application. The woman I spoke with was very knowledgeable about the products and very friendly. Shipping was prompt and the tracking information was great. We will definitely be using etrailer again for all of our future hitch needs!
Fit as advertised. Directions were clear. A far better 5th wheel frame mount than supplied with original bed mount. A lot more beefy.
They were a great help , it is an afternoon project . My neighbor helped and everything fit perfectly , thanks etrailer for another product

This bracket kit performs as expected. Installed it myself; measurements given are accurate and bracket holes lineup with frame holes. I am well satifiedwith this product.
Brackets worked great!! Installation was much easier!! Didn't have to drill holes through the frame, just through the bed. Informational videos were superb and customer service was top notch!! I am very happy with my purchase.
