Recommended Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 1997 Dodge Ram Pickup
Question:
I have a 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 with an 8ft bed. I also have a Anderson 5th wheel hitch that I need rails for. Everything I have found on here says it’s compatible with everything but an Anderson. Can you help in anyway?

Expert Reply:
The B&W Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, # BWRVR3200 is a confirmed fit for the 1997 Dodge Ram Pickup. These brackets install beneath truck bed to provide attachment points for above-bed rails. The base rails sit in truck bed to provide necessary mounting points for any 5th-wheel hitch that mounts using the ISR pattern.
The Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System, # AM3200 installs on industry-standard 5th-wheel rails (ISR). If you have this hitch, these base rails will work.
