Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch Install Kit to Install Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch in 2014 Ram 2500
Question:
Hello, I just purchased a 2014 Dodge 2500 crew cab 4x4 diesel with a standard 6 foot bed. I pulled the Curt A20 manual slider hitch out of my F250 when I got rid of it and Id like to install that hitch into the new Dodge. Im not sure what brackets to purchase to accommodate the hitch. Please help?

To install your hitch in your 2014 Ram, I'd recommend the Reese Custom Install Kit, part # RP50054-58. A custom kit uses existing holes in the frame eliminating the need to drill through the frame. This can save hours of install time.
If you don't already have a 7-way installed in your truck bed, you can install one using part # 50-97-410. You can see an install video by clicking the provided link.
