asked by: Charles A
Expert Reply:
To fit the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit # C16100 to your 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 short bed, this will require drilling into the frame. Curt recommends to use # C16303 that is included in the kit, which helps you to drill into a specific part of the frame easier.
However the Curt Custom Fit Fifth Wheel Hitch # C16420-204 is a direct match for your 2003 Dodge Ram and is guaranteed to fit. This will require no drilling into the frame, as the bolt holes will line up with the pre-existing holes in the frame.
