Industry Standard Rails for a 2022 Ram 2500 w/ 8 Bed and no Prep Package
Question:
I have a hitch that I am going to move into my 2022 Ram 2500 with 8' bed. The hitch attaches to standard rails and I currently do have anything in the bed of my truck. Can you recommend a set of rails for my truck that will work for the hitch?

Expert Reply:
For a set of industry standard rails on your 2022 Ram 2500 with 8' bed I recommend the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2602. This kit is made in the USA, has a limited lifetime warranty, and will come with all of the rails, custom brackets, and hardware needed. This will provide you with the industry standard rails you are needing for your hitch.
To make hooking up your 5th wheel trailers wiring easier you can add the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Wiring Harness # C56000. This will allow you to move a 7-way connector up into the bed of your truck, while retaining use of the factory 7-way at the rear of your truck.
