How to Upgrade From a 4 Point 5th Wheel System to a 10 Point 5th Wheel System

Question:

Can I purchase just the frame mounting brackets from the Reese Fifth Wheel Installation Kit - RP50064-58. I currently have Reese rails, but it is only a 4 point bolt system, and Im upgrading trailers and hitches and want a 10 point system. Thanks

If you already have a 4 point system like the Reese Universal Base Rails 30095 and are wanting to upgrade to the 10 point system, you will need to get the complete Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails Kit # RP50064-58.

The 4 point base rails are not compatible with the 10 point brackets. Reese has discontinued the 4 bolt brackets. The 10 point brackets and rails were created to provide extra support to make your 5th wheel towing system more secure. The 10 point brackets are custom made and should only be used with the 10 point rails.
