Fifth Wheel Rails for Reese Rail Kit of 2008 Dodge Ram 2500

Question

Question:

Good morning, I am needing assistance on ing a fifth wheel for my 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 4WD. I am looking to purchase a 12k fifth wheel. I bought the truck used and it had a wheel in it at one time. They left the install plates underneath but no rails on top. The number I got off of the plates is 50040. Could you please help me on the plate, top rails, rear lift bag kit that would work with this setup and a fifth wheel electrical cord. Thank you for your help!

Good job finding the rail kit part number! That means that at one point it has the part # RP50040-58 installed so for replacement rails you'd need the # RP58058 which comes with new install hardware as well.

Then for an air bag kit the Firestone kit part # F2701 is the best option that provides the highest quality air bags. Then for a 7-way kit to install in the bed of the truck you would want the part # HM42137.

Hey David, from previous customers of ours who have the same 2020 Keystone Raptor 424 we have determined that your pin box style is the Lippert 1621 which means for a Gen-Y gooseneck adapter you'd want the #GY58GR that you referenced.

Yep, the fit kits for a Thule roof rack on a 2022 Ford F-250 and 2019 F-150 Crew cab are indeed the same; they're not part 521 though, the correct part number is the following: - Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp and Edge Clamp Roof Rack Feet - 5271…

Answer 6

We have roof rack options for your 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan but nothing from Rola and none that would attach beneath the rubber strip you mentioned. Instead we have the Thule roof rack part #TH712500, #TH480R, and #THKIT1043 which would be a great…
