Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 Short Bed
Question:
Im looking to get a set of above bed mount 5th wheel rails for my 06 dodge ram mega cab dually with overload springs. I will more than likely purchase the 18k demco slider hitch but at a later time. My 5th wheel currently weighs in at 15k with 3500 hitch weight.

For a set of above-the-bed fifth wheel rails confirmed as a fit for your 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 the Reese kit part # RP50140-58 would be what I recommend. This is a custom fit kit for your truck that would fit and work well.
Down the road this would work well with a Demco Hijacker Autoslide 18k part # DM8550034. I really like this hitch as it slides back automatically as you might tight turns.
