Fifth Wheel Hitch Rail Kit Recommendation for a 2015 Ram 2500 Long Bed without Hitch Prep
Question:
I am looking to get a 2015 ram 2500 with long box. I have a Reese 16k fifth wheel in my 2008 ram 2500. The rails will probably be sold with the pickup, but Ill keep the hitch. so I need rails and mounting brackets for the 2015 thatll fit my Reese 16k hitch. This new pickup does not have the factory fifth wheel setup. What all will I need? Thanks.

We have exactly what you would need, but first I must thank you for giving me all of the information on your new truck and your current hitch. That makes my job much easier.
For a rail kit that has been confirmed to fit your new 2015 Ram 2500 long bed without the factory hitch prep that is also confirmed to work with your Reese hitch # RP30047 I would recommend the Reese Rail Kit part # RP50054-58. This is a custom install kit that will install much easier than a universal kit and will minimize drilling.
