Expert Reply:
You can use a semi-custom 5th wheel install kit # RP30035-023 for your older Reese Trail Boss 5th wheel, but you also have an easier option, which is a custom install kit that requires less drilling. Reese kit # RP50140-58 will save you several hours install time by reducing the need for frame drilling, thanks to its included brackets. Universal install kit # RP30035 is not recommended for your truck.
