Recommended 5th Wheel Bed Rail Custom Brackets for a 2003 Dodge Ram 2500

Question:

I already have a Reese 5th wheel hitch and bed rails. I just need a bracket to bolt to my truck. I have heard the custom brackets are stronger and easier to install. What bracket do you recommend for a 2003 Dodge Ram 2500? Thank you for your help.

For your 2003 Dodge Ram 2500, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50140. These custom rail brackets will work with the holes already present in your truck frame so you can install your bed rails in your truck without needing to drill holes in the frame itself. These brackets will work with any industry standard bed rails.

I also recommend the Replacement Hardware Kit for Fifth Wheel Base Rails - 10 Bolt # RP58430 to install your bed rails into your truck bed. The hardware is only intended to be used on one vehicle, so even though the rails can be transferred it is wise to purchase new hardware.
