Question:
I JUST BOUGHT A 5TH WHEEL TRAILER AND NEED A HITCH. FOUND THE CURT 16K KIT WITH RAILS AND HARDWARE. BEFORE ORDERING I WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WOULD FIT MY TRUCK. 2006 DODGE RAM 3500 4 DOOR DUALLY 8 FT BED. ALSO IF THERE IS ANY TIPS OR INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS YOU COULD SEND ME WOULD BE GREATLY APPREICIATED SEEING AS IM A MECHANIC AND WILL BE DOING IT MYSELF BUT HAVE NEVER INSTALLED A HITCH LIKE THIS BEFORE. ALSO DOES THIS KIT COME WITH EVERYTHING I WILL NEED? THANKS

Expert Reply:
The Curt Fifth Wheel Hitch part # C16115 that you referenced can be used in the bed of your 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 with an 8 foot bed once you install the Custom Install Rail Kit part # C16420-204 that you also mentioned.
I attached an install video that shows the rail kit being installed in a 2006 Dodge Ram just like yours. That will walk you through the entire process.
