Could DeeZee Crossover Toolbox Fit 2018 Ram 2500 with Fifth Wheel Hitch Installed
Question:
Hello, will this toolbox Item # DZ8170DLB work and more importantly not interfere with a 5th wheel hitch installed in a 2018 Ram 3500 with a 5th wheel prep running BWRVK3600 5th wheel hitch? Thanks

Expert Reply:
One of the issues with crossover style toolboxes like the DeeZee # DZ8170DLB that you referenced is the additional height they add to the tops of the bed rails. Typically clearance between the rails and the trailer overhang is already limited and this box would cut that by an additional 2 inches. You need 6 inches total clearance to prevent interference.
The width is 20 inches too so you'd need to measure back 20 inches from the front of your truck bed to determine if the box would interfere with the Companion # BWRVK3600 you have installed. So if that check out and you have at least 8 inches of bed rail to trailer overhang clearance already this would be a great option that would work well.
