Curt 5th Wheel Kit Installation - 2008 GMC Sierra- Video
Today on our 2008 GMC Sierra, we'll be installing the Curt custom fifth wheel installation kit, part number C16418-204. Now, here's what our rails look like installed. These rails will work with industry-standard fifth wheel adapters and goose neck adapters. They will fit, depending on the application, on the wide ones, the middle ones, or if you're using a gooseneck adapter, the middle ones right here. They are constructed of a durable steel construction with a durable carbide finish powder coat, which will give us many years of rust and corrosion-free service. Also, our bolts are coated in a zinc material, so you don't have to worry about your bolts rusting out either, making sure your fifth wheel rails will stay in place while you're towing your trailer. Now, what I like about this kit compared to other brands on the market is that our rails do not stick up very high compared to other ones, giving us full access to our truck bed, so if we wanted to lay something down flat, we don't lose much of our height capacity. more

Resse 5th Wheel Quick Install Base Rail Kit Installation - 2008 GMC Sierra- Video
Today on this 2008 GMC Sierra 2500HD, we're going to review and install the Reese Quick Install Custom Base Rails and Outboard Installation Kit for Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitches; part number RP56004-53. I think one of the best details about this hitch is that, since we've seen the bolts are on the outside here, on a conventional Quick Install Kit, the bolts are on the inside, which is okay to get to. You still have to fight around the heat shield here, and here to get access to the bolts; but on the other side, the driver's side, you have a bolt that's really hidden by the gas tank and it's really tight quarters, and it's just really no fun to install. With this one, you don't have to worry about that at all. It takes away all those headaches. Now, if your truck has a drop-in bed liner, I think this is a good companion to that if you're going to put your fifth wheel hitch in there with it. These rails actually will stick up higher than the bed liner. more

Fifth Wheel Hitch Installation - 2008 GMC Sierra 2500 HD- Video
Today on this 2008 GMC Sierra 2500 HD we will be installing Curt fifth wheel Q5 with roller part number 50064 and part number 16500. We will also be installing the fifth wheel installation kit with rails part number 50061-6008. Go ahead and lower the spare tire up out of the way. Also on some models you will find that the heat shield over here on the passenger side will interfere with the installation of your frame brackets. If that is the case you may want to go ahead and remove the heat shield out of the way as well. Okay on the models that have the factory installed electrical brake control unit will need to relocate the electrical plug mounted to the inboard side of the driver side frame rail here. Loosen those up and you can see that we can actually take the heads of the bolts, slide the bracket forward, and pop them out those larger holes there. 00:59 more
