1993 Dodge Ram Fifth Wheel Rail Installation Kit for a Reese RP30047 5th-Wheel
Question:
I have a 1993 Dodge W350 4x4, 1 ton, 8 box and am looking to install a 5th wheel hitch. What mounting kit do I need for the Reese 30047? Will I have to drill holes in teh frame, or do I use existing holes? The box has a bed liner, will that have to come out or be cut for the rails?

Expert Reply:
You would use universal fifth-wheel rail installation kit # RP30035 to install rails on your 1993 Dodge Ram.
You will have to drill to install this kit, as no custom brackets are available for your vehicle. I have included a link to the installation instructions to give you an idea of where and how much you will be drilling.
Plastic bedliners do have to be cut for installation, but if you have a spray-in bed liner this would not need to be cut.
