Fifth Wheel Base Rail Kit Installation - 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500- Video
Hi there Chevy owners, and here 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. We're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install Reese's fifth wheel rail kit. And this is what our rail kit looks like when it's installed, it is gonna sit above the bed of your truck, but it is fairly flat, so it doesn't really take up too much of the room here in the bed of your truck. It will allow you to hook up a fifth wheel to the back here, and it does have multiple slots, so it should work with many different manufacturers, fifth wheels, but we do have a recent here today, and if you're going with a reset of rails, it makes sense to go with a Reese hitch, 'cause oftentimes when you stick with the same manufacturer the parts tend to fit a little better. That being said, the best fit I found here at etrailer, of our Reese is gonna be the BMW fifth wheel hitch and rails, and those ones just assembled together quite a bit easier, the machining on those is very top-notch, so if you're wanting something that is very high quality, I'd recommend that, but if you're just looking to get a set a fifth wheel in your truck, and you've got a Chevy Silverado, the Reese kit here does accomplish that for you, it's a semi custom fit kit, because it is custom fit for Chevy Silverados, but it does encompass a very large range of trucks, so you are gonna get a lot of extra hardware in this kit, that you're not gonna use, because it covers such a large range of Silverados. So just take your time and filter it through your hardware, definitely pay attention to your instructions, there's a pretty big monster of a booklet there, because there's so many variations between the years and all the hardware that you get, but if you wanna follow along with us, we'll show you how to get these rails installed, you get your side plates as well with the kit, that keeps everything clamped tightly to our frame and to our bed here, giving us that option to add that fifth wheel. more

But as you can see, there's no rails on top of our bed because they're all underneath and our fifth wheel is just going to slide right into these puck systems and then the plugs here are going to make sure that whenever we are hauling something in the bed, maybe we picked up a load of mulch, we got some rock back here, it's going to make sure that it doesn't fall inside the pucks and get all dirty and then the ring on the outside just really gives it that finished look.It almost has a factory look to it if you we're to see a truck that has the prep package in it.

That's not the case with this rail. On our outermost setting, it's rated for 25,000 lbs. more

Included in the kit, you're going to get two base rails for the legs of your hitch, and two side brackets that'll go underneath and attach to your frame, keeping it nice and secure.The side brackets attached to the frame rails using pre-existing holes so there's no drilling into the frame required, and the base rails will be function with most manufacturers fifth wheel heads, so it'll be ready to bolt right up and ready to use once you got it installed.The way these base rails are designed, the pins that hold your fifth wheel in, you can take your fifth wheel out, so will base rails remain in place and the base rails only sit about an inch on top of your bed, so you'll have mostly full bed access once you get your fifth wheel out of there.This kit comes with all the hardware you need to get it installed. It does require some minimal drilling, I'll show you how to do that now.We'll begin our installation by measuring out the first rail closes to the tailgate. You wanna center it in the middle between each side of your truck bed, and then you'll measure from the rear of the truck bed between your tailgate opening and the actual truck bed itself down towards your rail. There are multiple measurements depending on the length of your truck bed, refer to your instructions and set it at the appropriate distance from here to your rail.You'll then mark the hole one in on each side and the center hole towards the cab. You can use a center punch for this, if you've got a spray in bed liner, you can use a paint stick, and then what I like to do before I take it off if I do have spray in bed liner is to just take a drill bit and just mark that a little bit more. more
