Mounting Location of Husky 5th Wheel Hitch in 2009 Dodge Ram Short Bed
Question:
where to mount in 2008 dodge 1500 quad cab short bed truck

Expert Reply:
If you do not have rails for your 5th wheel hitch you will want custom rail kit # RP50142-58. These rails are compatible with a variety of 5th wheel hitches including Husky 5th wheel hitches. This kit will work on a quad cab but not a crew cab. Using the correct installation kit for your 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 Short Bed will put the king pin centered over the rear axle. This is the correct mounting location for your 5th wheel hitch.
Because this is a custom installation kit, the install time is shorter than the universal kit. There is no drilling required for installation. I have included a link to the installation details for you to check out.
