Which Base Rails Can I Use on a 2013 Ram 2500 To Mount a 5th Wheel Hitch to Existing Frame Brackets

Question:

Hello! I have a 2013 ram 2500 that the previous owners had a 5th wheel in the bed. I am looking to upgrade to a 5th wheel soon and I found I have all the brackets still under the bed. All I would need is the rails and the harware. Would you have a kit for that? Thank you

If you've already got the brackets in place then you can use the Reese Universal Outboard Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10 Bolt - Extended Length # RP30153, which comes with the mounting hardware included. This is based off the assumption that you've got outboard brackets (mounting to the outside of the truck frame) since you know they're there. If you've got standard mounting brackets then you can use the Reese Universal Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10 Bolt # RP58058.

These base rails are compatible with any 5th wheel hitch that mounts in industry standard rails. I've linked a review video of these rail kits for you to check out, as well.
