5th Wheel Installation Kit for 2015 Ram 3500 Dually Without Factory Puck System
Question:
I saw the videos on the 2014 RAM 3500 adapter kit for 5th wheel install. I have a 2014 3500 8 ft. bed dually. Problem is I dont have the puck type frame. The bed has no provision to get to the frame...it is solid. What kit do I need to install a 5th wheel?? Thanks for the info.

Expert Reply:
For your 2014 Ram 3500 dually with 8-foot bed and without the factory puck system you can use one of the custom-fit installation kits compatible with dually trucks shown on the linked page, such as the Reese # RP56010-53. This kit includes under-bed brackets, installation hardware and industry-standard base rails that will work with hitches from Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese and Valley.
For reference I have linked an article with helpful tips for 5th wheel installation.
