2008 Dodge Ram 2500 Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation
Question:
Will these bolt up to a Dodge 2500 series with a 6foot bed? I have the Reese 16k hitch but I need the rails and hardware. Please help

Expert Reply:
Yes, the Reese Semi-Custom fifth wheel rail kit part # RP30035-186 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 short bed so it would work well for you.
This will also work with your Reese 16k fifth wheel hitch that hopefully is a slider hitch since you have a short bed truck. Without a slider hitch you won't be able to make tight turns. Hopefully your hitch is the part # RP30051.
