Is The Andersen Ultimate Hitch Compatible With The Reese Custom Install Base Rail Kit
Question:
What is the weight capacity of these rails? And will they work with an Andersen Ultimate Hitch? I will be installing them on a 2006 F350.

The Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50082-58 are rated up to 27,000lbs and are industry standard rails (ISR). The Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter - 20,000lbs # AM3200 is designed to work with ISR rails so these will be compatible with each other.
Since your 2006 Ford F-350 Super Duty has a short bed I do recommend using a sliding hitch like the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R20 Slider - Dual Jaw - 20,000lbs # C16541 to increase your turning clearance and help prevent the nose of your 5th wheel from coming into contact with the cab of your truck.
