Custom Fit 5th Wheel Base Rails and Installation Kit for 2015 Ram 3500  

Question:

Gentlemen: I have a 2015 Dodge Ram3500 dually longbox, with the factory air suspension. I would like to install a fifth wheel hitch in this truck. I already have a Husky 24K hitch, and I need to buy and install the rails and the custom mounting brackets for this installation. Do you supply the custom brackets for this?

Expert Reply:

The 5th wheel hitch base rails and custom installation kit I recommend for your 2015 Ram 3500 is the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Outboard Installation Kit # RP56010-53. The custom installation brackets will not require you to drill into your vehicle's frame, and the outboard orientation of the brackets will make it easier to access the installation hardware. These base rails are industry standard rails, so they will work well for your Husky 24K 5th Wheel Hitch.

If you're looking for more budget friendly base rails, the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit # RP50085-58 is a great option. These are also industry standard rails that will work well with your Husky 5th wheel hitch and will not require you to drill into the vehicle's frame. The installation brackets with this kit are inboard brackets, and the estimated installation time of this kit is approximately 30 minutes longer than the # RP56010-53 kit. One benefit of inboard brackets is that the base rails inside the truck bed aren't as long as those in an outboard kit.

I have attached the installation instructions for both of these kits for you.
