5th Wheel Installation Rail Adapter Recommendation for a 2013 Dodge 6 ft bed 4x4 with Underbed Rails
Question:
Would this fit a 2013 Dodge Mega Cab - I have one with the pucks ready for the frame adaptor for a 5th wheel, just want know which exact frame or Reese unit I would need to order. Thanks , Like your website - super helpful.

For you 2013 Ram 3500 you would want the Reese Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # RP30154. This kit is designed to fit the underbed rail system in your truck, whereas the Reese Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter # RP30156 that you referenced is designed to fit the Reese Elite underbed systems that are different from what you have in your truck.
Since you have a 6 foot bed you will need a slider hitch like the 20k Reese Slider hitch part # RP30083, or for a lower capacity of 16k the Reese Slider Hitch part # RP30051.
