Want to take the family on a cross-country adventure? Or perhaps you're planning a shorter trip to your favorite campground. Whatever your destination, it's important to have the right equipment, especially when towing a fifth wheel trailer. To ensure proper hookup and safety while towing, you'll need something to attach your fifth wheel hitch in the bed on your truck. Many pickups come equipped with factory-installed rails or puck systems, but if you don't have one of these already installed, don't worry. REESE has an extensive line of mounting rails and bracket kits, custom-made to the exact specifications needed based on your truck's year, make, and model. REESE also offers several Industry Standard designs, as well as fastener kits, spacer kits, and a Power Puck mounting kit, so you can be sure you're covered, no matter what pickup you're using to tow. So make it easy. Make it fun. Make it REESE, so you can make the journey as enjoyable as the destination.

Reese has designed towing equipment since 1952 and remains a benchmark for heavy-duty towing. The line covers fifth wheel hitches such as the modular M5, gooseneck couplers including the Goose Box, air-ride and short-bed pin boxes, weight distribution systems with active sway control, and the accessories that connect them, all built to exceed published industry standards.
Reese has been pioneering towing performance since 1952, when Margaret Reese asked her husband TJ to stop travel trailers rocking every time somebody walked through them. His answer, the first pair of stabilising jacks, was simple and effective enough to change the RV industry. From that starting point Reese grew into a designer and manufacturer of complete towing systems, and today it anchors the heavy-duty end of the Horizon Global towing portfolio.
Fifth wheel towing is where the brand's engineering is most visible. The M5 fifth wheel hitch uses a modular design that breaks into manageable sections for assembly, with a wider stance, tighter tolerances and a shock absorption system aimed at the jolts that travel up through a truck bed. For owners who would rather tow from a gooseneck coupler and keep the bed clear, the Goose Box 20K replaces the trailer's king pin with a gooseneck connection carrying its own air-ride cushioning.
Pin boxes are a Reese speciality. The 5th Airborne uses air-ride technology to dampen road shock and reduce the chucking motion that makes fifth wheel towing tiring, while the Sidewinder was designed for short-bed pickups, pivoting the connection point so the trailer can turn sharply without the front cap meeting the cab.
For conventional towing, Reese weight distribution systems restore load to the tow vehicle's front axle and control sway. The Pro Round Bar distributes weight evenly while damping sway, and the Pro Dual Cam II uses active cam-based sway control that works harder the stronger the sway force becomes. Complete kits pair bars, head and shank to a rated tongue weight, and dedicated sway control kits can be added to existing setups. The products suit RV owners, horse and livestock haulers and anyone towing near the upper end of a vehicle's rating.

Yes, the Reese Fifth Wheel Hitch Mounting System Bracket Kit RE58023 (Part #RE58023) is designed to fit the 2002-2008 Dodge Ram 1500.
The Reese Fifth Wheel Hitch Mounting System Bracket Kit RE58023 (Part #RE58023) fits 2002-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 models. The 2010 model year is the last year covered by this part number. For newer models, check for an updated version.
The Reese Fifth Wheel Hitch Mounting System Bracket Kit RE58023 (Part #RE58023) Drilling is required for installation. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, the 58023 kit is designed for Dodge 2002 and newer 1500 Ram trucks. It is available in two versions: one for short bed (26 5/16") and one for long bed (28 5/16"). Verify your bed length before ordering to ensure you receive the correct bracket configuration.
The short bed version measures 26 5/16" and the long bed version measures 28 5/16". These measurements represent the distance from the rear edge of the truck bed to the rear edge of the base rail. Confirm your truck's bed length before installation to ensure proper fitment.
The kit includes a tube spacer, a 4 1/2" carriage bolt, rib neck bolts, and a supplied pull wire. The tube spacer and carriage bolt are used to attach the bracket through the rear bed sill (Row 3). The rib neck bolts must be pulled through frame access holes using the supplied pull wire.
Yes. The manual states: "Read Installation Guide (page 10-11) before starting installation. Failure to do so could result in significant vehicle damage!" You must review the complete installation guide before beginning any work.
Yes, drilling is required. The installation involves drilling through the truck bed sill and frame. You must check for obstructions (fuel lines, brake lines, structural members) before drilling to prevent damage. The manual emphasizes that it is the installer's responsibility to prevent damage due to installation.
For Row 3 (bed sill attachment): use a 17/32" drill bit to drill through the bed sill, then open up the hole through the truck bed only with a 1" diameter drill. Specific drill sizes for other rows are not provided in the available manual excerpt.
No. The manual explicitly states: "Do not drill thru both walls of frame. Drill only thru wall of frame to which bracket is mounted." Drilling through both walls could damage internal frame components or fuel and brake lines.
For Row 3 (rear bed sill attachment): drill through the bed sill with a 17/32" drill bit, then open up the hole through the truck bed only with a 1" diameter drill. Drop the tube spacer through the hole in the truck bed to avoid crushing the bed sill when torquing the 4 1/2" carriage bolt. The tube spacer protects the bed sill during final tightening.
The rib neck bolts must be pulled through access holes in the frame using the supplied pull wire. The manual indicates there are forward and rearward access holes in the bottom of the frame. Detailed step-by-step instructions for this process are referenced in the installation guide on pages 10-11, which are not included in this excerpt.
Row 2 brackets must be positioned against the rear side of the bed sill. The manual states: "It is very important that brackets in Row 2 are against rear side of Bed Sill as shown below." Proper positioning is critical for correct fitment and function.
The king pin must be centered over the axle center. This is shown in the product diagram and is essential for proper load distribution and towing safety.
Yes. The manual warns: "Due to dimensional instability in Bed Sill placement with the Dodge truck, interferences could result when drilling in Row 3. Observe caution note below and double check all areas prior to drilling." Before drilling Row 3, carefully verify that no fuel lines, brake lines, or other obstructions are present in the drilling path.
Before drilling, check for fuel lines, brake lines, and structural members. The manual states: "Check for obstructions before drilling. Failure to do so could result in damaged fuel or brake lines, structural members, etc." It is the installer's responsibility to prevent damage. This is especially important for Row 3 drilling on Dodge 1500 trucks due to dimensional variability in bed sill placement.
The diagram indicates the weld pattern is optional (marked with an asterisk as "Optional weld pattern"). However, the complete installation guide on pages 10-11 may provide additional guidance on when welding is recommended or required.
The 58023 kit fits Dodge 2002 and newer 1500 Ram trucks in both short bed (26 5/16") and long bed (28 5/16") configurations. Verify your bed length before ordering.
Yes, drilling is required. You must drill through the truck bed sill and frame. Always check for fuel lines, brake lines, and other obstructions before drilling to prevent damage.
The kit includes a tube spacer, 4 1/2" carriage bolt, rib neck bolts, and a pull wire for installing bolts through frame access holes.
Read the installation guide on pages 10-11 before starting. Failure to do so could result in significant vehicle damage. Check for fuel lines, brake lines, and structural members before drilling.
No. Drill only through the wall of the frame to which the bracket is mounted. Do not drill through both walls, as this could damage fuel lines, brake lines, or structural members.
