Question:
Which of your products will work with my RBW Industries UHS-85 5th wheel hitch? I have a 1996 Chevy Silverado 3500 dually model K30953 4x4.

RBW was bought out a while back and it is hard to find information on their hitches. If your hitch is the Lil Rocker then we know that it will fit in the Reese above the bed rails included with many Reese installation kits. For your 1996 K3500 you would need installation kit # RP30035.
If you have a different hitch then you will need to take some measurements of its mounting feet to determine if they fit the slots on the industry standard rails.
The Reese rails have 3 sets of mounting slots on each rail. The outer set is 29 inches apart on center, the middle set is 20-1/2 inches apart on center, and the inner set is 10 inches apart on center. The slots are 22 inches part on center front to back. I have included a picture that shows these measurements.
If the feet on your hitch match these measurements then it will fit the Reese rails.
