Will Reese 5th Wheel Hitch and Install Kit # PS30129 Fit My 2011 Dodge Ram 2500 with 6 Ft Bed

Yes, the Pro Series Fifth Wheel Hitch and Universal Install Kit, # PS30129, will fit your 2011 Dodge Ram 2500 short bed pickup. If your truck has overload springs, you will also need the Reese Mounting Bracket Kit, # RP58186.

The use of the Mounting Bracket, # RP58023, for Dodge Ram trucks is optional but will ease installation and save you time.

If you are concerned with ease of installation, a custom install kit would definitely be the way to go. The 16K Fifth Wheel Hitch with Custom Install Kit, # RP30075 and # RP50140-58, includes vehicle specific brackets which would mount to existing holes in your Ram's frame. This minimizes drilling and measuring so you can nearly cut your installation time in half. This custom install kit will not work if your 2011 model has a gas engine AND overload springs.
