Could Reese Bracket Kit part # RP50026 Fit Existing Fifth Wheel Rails

Question

Question:

Can I use my current bed mounted rails with these brackets? I have a set of rails that I believe are the standard 42 or 43 inch length. Im installing in a 2015 2500HD with a short box.

If the rails you have are Reese brand rails yes the quick install bracket kit part # RP50026 will work well for you. But if they are not you'd need to order this kit with rails as part # RP50026-58 as we can't recommend mixing rail kit and bracket manufacturers.
