Reese 5th Wheel Hitch Rails - RP56015-53

  • Above the Bed
  • Custom
  • Reese

Heavy-duty, custom brackets dramatically reduce the amount of drilling and time required to install your fifth-wheel trailer hitch. Outboard design ensures simple access to mounting points. Brackets, 10-bolt base rails and hardware included.


Features:

  • Installation brackets mount beneath your truck bed to provide attachment points for 5th-wheel rails
  • Base rails sit in truck bed and allow installation of 5th-wheel trailer hitch
  • Fast, simple installation with outboard design
    • Extended-length base rails allow for mounting farther out from truck frame
      • Avoids underbed components for easier access
      • Cuts down installation time by more than half compared with universal kits
    • Custom brackets mount to existing holes in truck frame, minimizing drilling and measuring
  • Thoroughly tested kit is compliant with strict Society of Automotive Engineers guidelines
  • Kit includes brackets, 10-bolt rails and Grade-8 hardware
  • Compatible with B&W, Curt, Demco Hijacker Premier Series, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley above-bed 5th-wheel trailer hitches
  • Sturdy, black powder coated steel resists corrosion


Specs:

  • Base rail dimensions: 48" long x 1-7/8" tall
  • Limited lifetime warranty


Reese's outboard installation kit for your fifth-wheel trailer hitch was designed with safety and convenience in mind. Just like the original custom mounting brackets, these brackets install using existing holes in the truck frame, minimizing installation time. The biggest difference with this outboard kit is the extended-length rails. These above-bed rails are 5 inches longer than standard, universal fifth-wheel rails so that they will match up with the mounting points on the brackets, which sit below the bed and outside of your truck's frame. The result is a much simpler installation process, wherein most underbed components can be easily avoided. Because you are working outside the frame rails, you also have easier access with your tools and more room to work, making the whole process less of a pain.


The base rails included in this installation kit feature a standard 10-bolt design. Each of these rails attaches to the underbed brackets with two carriage bolts at both ends. A single bolt is used in the center of each rail to further secure it in your truck bed. The result is a set of base rails that remains firmly in place thanks to 10 points of contact.


This entire installation kit is built to be SAE J2638 compliant and has been extensively tested per specified accelerated-life-cycle criteria for fifth-wheel trailer hitches. The requirements for testing are based on the European-style test of 900,000 cycles, making this testing process among the most thorough and intensive in the industry.

  • Recommended Custom 5th Wheel Install Kit for a 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 with 5-1/2 Bed
    The only custom fit fifth wheel install kits we have available for the 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 with 5-1/2' bed is the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit part # RP56015-53. The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit part # C16415-204 which is for a 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 will only fit models with the 6-1/2' and 8' beds. That said, both the Curt and Reese options work with the same fifth wheels hitches so there should be no problem.

  • Will Pro Series 15K Slider Fit Reese Outboard and B&W Base Rails for a 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500
    The Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit # RP56015-53 and B&W Custom Installation Kit # BWRVK2504 are a fit for your 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 and will fit with the Pro Series 15K Slider, yes. These bracket kits have a slight difference though in that the Reese base rails are called "outboard" which means the brackets connect to the rails on the outer part of the frame rail and the base rails are a little wider in your truck bed. So basically the ease of installation comes...

  • Weight of Demco Autoslide Versus Reese With Sidewinder On a 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 5-3/4 Foot Bed
    The Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550040 is going to weigh 309lbs and the Install Kit # DM8552034-71 is 105lbs. The Reese # RP30047 is going to be a lighter option at 108lbs with Install Kit # RP56015-53 being 103lbs. But do remember the Reese Sidewinder # RP77FR is going to weigh approximately 120lbs more than your standard pin box. So while you loose hitch weight in the truck you are going to have a higher tongue weight.

  • Recommended Rail Kit to Mount 5th Wheel Hitch on 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500
    The Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit part # RP56015-53 is what I recommend using to install a fifth wheel hitch on a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. I recommend this hitch as it uses outboard rails which are much easier to install than the other options available. It will work with most fifth wheel hitches such as Reese, B&W, Curt, Husky, etc.

  • Will Pullrite Superglide 2700 Fit Reese Rail Kit # RP56015-53 For 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500
    The Pullrite Superglide 2700 hitch is designed to fit industry standard fifth wheel rails like what the Reese kit part # RP56015-53 you referenced provides. So if this is the hitch you have then this rail kit will fit and work well. Some of Pullrite hitches will only fit their rail kits so you'll need to verify for sure what hitch you have.

  • Reese Fifth Wheel Rail Kit to Fit 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 Short Bed
    You'll need a new rail kit for your 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 but you can use your Reese Kwik Slide 15k hitch that you already have still. You'll need the rail kit part # RP56015-53 which is an outboard style rail kit for your truck. The rails you currently have are the inboard style and there isn't a bracket kit that allows them to fit your truck since it was redesigned.

  • 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 LTD Correct 5th Wheel Base Rail Kit
    The Curt Custom 5th Wheel Bracket Kit # C95KR will fit a 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 LTD with a 6-1/2' or 8' bed but since you have the 5-3/4' bed we need to look at a different solution for you. For your application I recommend going with the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # RP56015-53 because it will be easier to install than the other options plus it's the only kit that requires absolutely no drilling into the frame of your new truck. This also comes...

  • Can 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 5-1/2 ft Bed Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer
    For truck beds shorter than 6 foot it is possible to tow a fifth wheel trailer but it does get a little more tricky since the shorter beds makes clearance between the truck cab and trailer nose much tighter. Normally for short bed trucks a slider hitch solves this problem but a standard slider hitch only goes about half as far as it needs to so the best solution is the Demco Hijacker Autoslide part # DM8550040 which slides 22-1/2 inches. This hitch is designed to fit standard above bed...

  • Recommended Air Bags for a 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 w/ an In Bed Hitch
    The best air bag suspension kit for your Silverado is going to be the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus Air Springs item # AL88288. These air bags are compatible with in-bed hitches and rail kits like the Reese Quick-Install Kit item # RP56015-53 you were looking at. To install these air bags, or any other brand on your 2020 Silverado 1500, you will have to drill some holes. I have linked an installation video below. I recommend adding the Firestone Air Command I item # F2097. This...

  • 5th Wheel Base Rails for 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with 5-3/4 Foot Bed
    You linked to the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # BWRVK3255 that mounts using compatible industry-standard, above-bed rails. For your 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, I suggest the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, # RP56015-53, as this is confirmed for the 5-3/4 Foot Bed. However, the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # BWRVK3255 is not a slide type hitch so you will need to have a rotating turret type pin box on...

  • 5TH Wheel Trailer Hitch Options For a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 With 5-3/4 Foot Bed
    With your 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with the 5-3/4' short bed there are a couple options. If the 5th wheel you are towing has a pivoting pin box like the Reese Sidewinder # RP77FR then you can use a Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30047 with the Installation Kit # RP56015-53. Otherwise you will need the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550040 with Installation Kit # DM8552034-71. The Demco slides back up to 22-1/2" ensuring you do not hit the front of the 5th wheel on...

    The Husky Custom Mounting Bracket Kit HT32221 is for a 2013-2020 Ram 3500. It does not appear that the Husky mounting bracket kit is available for your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 at this time. I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit # RP56015-53 for your Silverado. These rails utilize the Industry Standard Rails which is the same as the Husky 5th wheel hitches. The rails and mounting brackets are backed by Reese's Limited Lifetime Warranty. All the hardware...

    For truck beds that are shorter than 6 feet like on your 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 with a 5-3/4 foot bed you have two options for towing a fifth wheel trailer and preventing truck cab to trailer nose interference. You can use the Demco Hijacker Autoslide hitch part # DM8550040 as it's only slider hitch that moves back 22-1/2 inches to give you clearance with the install kit part # DM8552034-71 or you could go with a fixed hitch like the # RP30047 and rail kit # RP56015-53 and a Sidewinder...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation with 5-3/4 Foot Bed
    Yes, you can install a 5th wheel hitch on your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation Edition with a 5-3/4 Foot truck bed, but any 5th wheel trailer you tow must have a pin box with a rotating pin box. You would want to find the pinbox model number on the spec sticker of your trailer in order to determine if there is a pin box with a rotating turret available to use as a replacement. With that said, you could use the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Single Jaw - 20,000 lbs # RP30928 and installation...

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit for 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 6.5 ft Bed for Using Reese 16k Slider Hitch
    The Demco rail kit part # DM8551011 that you referenced is an underbed fifth wheel rail kit that fits your 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 6-1/2 foot bed but there isn't a way to adapt it to your Reese fifth wheel hitch. You'd need a set of above the bed rails instead like the Reese part # RP56015-53 which is a confirmed fit or you'd have to go with a Demco hitch like the automatic slider part # DM8550022 which is designed to fit this rail design and automatically slides back as you make tight turns.

  • 5th Wheel Bracket/Rail Install Kit for 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited w/ 5.5 Foot Bed
    Reese offers the # RP56015-53 bracket/rail kit which is a fit for the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited with the 5 foot 8 inch bed. Because of the lack of clearance you'll have between the front of the 5th wheel and the truck cab, you'll need to use a rotating pin box like the Reese Sidewinder. The Sidewinder is pin box specific, so the model needed will depend on which OEM pin box your 5th wheel is equipped with. There's typically a part number and manufacturer info on the pin box itself. I'll...

    Since your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 has the short 5-3/4' bed I have a few options for a 5th wheel hitch and the difference really boils down to what you'd like to do or are willing to do. First things first though, we will need to get some rails and wiring installed in the bed of your truck and for that I recommend the Reese Rails # RP56015-53 and Wiring Kit # C53CR. Now that we have all of this squared away we can look at the different 5th wheel hitch options. I personally like the fixed...

    We have great fifth wheel hitch solutions for your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 with a 5-1/2 foot bed like the Demco Hijacker AutoSlide part # DM8550040. This hitch automatically slides as you make tight turns so that you have the needed turning clearance. It also is only sliding hitch out there that would give you the needed turning clearance since it slides 22-1/2 inches which is about twice as much as the standard slider hitch.

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2020 GMC Sierra 5 3/4 Bed
    If the plan is to tow a fifth wheel trailer with your 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 you'll need to go with a slider as there isn't a fifth wheel to gooseneck solution that would give you the needed turning clearance since your bed is so short. So what you'd need is a rail kit like the part # RP56015-53 and the Demco Hijacker part # DM8550040 which is only slider hitch that will have enough clearance for your bed length. This actually slides automatically as you make tight turns too which allows...
