Placing Fifth Wheel Hitch Install Bed Rails in Bed of 2003 Dodge Ram 3500 Long Bed
Question:

Expert Reply:
The distance from the rear edge of the truck bed (NOT the tailgate) to the rear edge of the rear bed rail of the Reese # RP50140-58 fifth wheel hitch install kit is 28-1/4 inches. You can find this information on page 4 of the installation instructions, which I've linked for you.
If you need a 7-way trailer connector installed in the truck bed, you can do so using part # HM42137. I've also linked you to install videos for the fifth wheel rails and the in-bed 7-way trailer connector.
