5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Install Kit for a 2006 Ford F-250 with Firestone Air Bags
Question:
Good evening, I have a 2006 ford f250 with an 8ft bed and Firestone ride height inner mount bags. I was given a Reese 18k 3081 hitch. Which rails are the best to get, i was looking to get custom brackets if possible, what are my choices?

Helpful Expert Reply:
There are a few different Firestone kits that fit your 2006 Ford F-250. As long as the kit you have is NOT F2452 you will be able to install a 5th wheel installation kit. For a custom kit for your Reese hitch I recommend the Reese custom installation kit # RP50082-58. I have included a link to the installation instructions and a link to a video showing an example installation for you.
You can also use Curt installation kit # C16448-204.
