There are two types of 5th wheel hitch base rail installation kits, the universal-fit type such as the Reese # RP30035 that you referenced, and the custom bracket type. Custom kits take less time to install and require no drilling of the vehicle frame; they are also typically a bit costlier than the universal-fit type.
The Reese universal kit # RP30035 will fit most hitches from Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Reese, Valley and Husky and includes rails, brackets and hardware. It will not fit Reese Elite/Signature Series hitches. The written installation instructions are linked for your review along with a sample installation video. Although the vehicle shown in the video is different the overall process is essentially the same.
Custom 5th wheel hitch brackets are specific to the vehicle model year and the size of the bed on your truck. If you wish to advise the model year, version and bed length for your Tundra I will be glad to check for availability of a custom bracket kit that will reduce your install time.
