The rails are going to have several different mounting locations in there and they're going to accept industry standard fifth wheel hitches or gooseneck adapters. And the nice thing about our rails is when we're not towing, we can pull our fifth wheel out and our rails are only going to stick up from our bed about an inch and a half.Now our rails do come with a custom installation kit, which is going to cut down on the installation time making it a little bit easier and also reduce the amount of drilling that we're going to have to do. We are going to have to drill five holes per rail in order to get them installed. Those rails in the bed are going to attach to our frame brackets here. more

Now, the reason you're going to want a set of rails like these is because having a set of rails gives you the option not only to tow a 5th wheel trailer, but you can also use a gooseneck trailer with a proper adapter. This is more versatile than just having an underbed system with pucks where you can only use a 5th wheel and you can't use a gooseneck.Now, one thing that's really unique about these rails compared to other rails out there was, if you're using a rail system, most of the time you typically don't know how much the rail is rated for as far as weight capacities. 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

Demco Underbed Rail Kit Installation - 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

Today on our 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD we're going to be taking a look at and installing the Demco Underbed Rail and Installation Kit for the Demco Hijacker UnderBed Mount Series Fifth Wheel and Gooseneck Trailer Hitches, part number DM8551002. Something that's really nice about those underbed rails is that not only does it give you full bed access when you don't have the fifth wheel in place, but when you do put the fifth wheel in it's much easier to lock it in place because you don't have to worry about lining up the tabs and then putting the pin through on the underside. Rather, you get the pins down into their location, twist the handles, and they're locked into place. Now let's show you how easy it is to install the fifth wheel hitch from this setup. On this with these silver handles all the way out, that's going to turn these pins into the proper position in order to be able to slide down into the holes in the rails. Once it's down into place, you take these handles and turn them inward in order to lock those pins inside our rails. Once we've got our handles turned inward underneath the lip here, we can take our pins and slide them down through the holes. more
