We offer the Reese Universal Base Rail and 10-Bolt Installation Kit, part # RP30035. This kit is fully compatible with your RBW Lil Rocker 5th wheel hitch and includes all hardware, L-brackets and above-bed base rails. I have included links to an installation video and to the written instructions for this product.

If your Ram is equipped with overload springs, you can also use the custom-fit Reese Mounting Bracket Kit for Dodge Ram, part # RP58186, which replaces the L-brackets included in the universal install kit. This custom bracket kit includes hardware and will simplify installation of the base rails.

If you need to adapt your Ram bumper-mounted 7-way trailer connector for use with your 5th wheel, you may consider the Hopkins Custom Wiring for Dodge Ram, part # HM42137. This harness plugs in between your OEM wiring harness and your factory-installed 7-way connector and adds a new 7-way for your 5th wheel while retaining the functions of the factory 7-way at the bumper. A video link on this item is included.
