1. The following instructions should be used to mount the Fifth wheel. Care and attention to detail will ensure a quick quality installation.
Check parts against parts list to become familiar with parts in kit. (See Fig. 1)
2. Raise rear of truck high enough to allow jack stands to be placed under rear spring hanger bracket of truck. This will provide maximum
room to install the Fifth wheel brackets.
If the truck is raised, be sure that the truck is properly blocked and restrained to prevent the truck
from falling. Failure to do so may result in the truck suddenly falling, causing death or serious injury.
3. Do not install mounting rails over plastic bed liners. Plastic bed liners must be cut out of the way. Base rails may be
installed on spray in liner. Note: Consult installer for recommended curing time.
4. Use only Cequent Performance Products, Inc. supplied bolts, nuts, and washers to install this kit (Unless instructed otherwise). All bolts
are Grade 5 and nuts are Grade 5 unless specified otherwise.
5. Specific instructions for most commonly used vehicles are included. Each frame bracket must be bolted to the vehicle frame with two
bolts, unless optional weld is used.
These instructions are guidelines only. Actual installation is the responsibility of the installer and the owner. Always measure
truck and trailer before installing hitch to be sure that there is clearance at the cab and at the bumper to allow for turns.
To prevent the trailer from hitting the cab with the trailer turned 90°, the center of the hitch should be at least 52" from the back of the
cab when using a long bed truck. (Actual distance required will depend on trailer width and king pin location.) Short bed trucks (Minimum
38” from back cab to axle center line) require a minimum of a 13” extended pin box with a Kwik slide or a SIDEWINDER Pinbox for regular
maneuvers. DO NOT INSTALL ON OR ATTEMPT TO TOW WITH A TRUCK HAVING LESS THAN A 6’ BED WITHOUT A SIDEWINDER PINBOX INSTALLED ON THE TRAILER.
6. Measurements for rail placement are given from rear edge of truck bed to rear edge of the base rail closest to the rear edge of truck for
most vehicle applications.
7. Center hitch between fender wells and make sure rails are square. Adjust position of rails until both diagonal measurements are the
same. This should allow installation of a gooseneck or other Fifth wheels to these rails.
NOTE: For ease of installation, place the
unassembled fifth wheel support
arches/slider/goose into the already
installed rear mounting rail. Position the
forward mounting rail with the support
arches/slider/goose by inserting
the tabs into the mounting rail and
pushing the mounting rail tight towards
the other mounting rail. Ensure that the
mounting rail is centered on the bed of the
vehicle. This will position the rail in the correct
location and ensure that the fifth wheel will
have a snug fit to the truck.

CAUTION:
Check for obstructions before drilling. Failure to do so could result in damaged fuel or brake lines, structural
members, etc. Cequent Performance Products, Inc. does its best to communicate tow vehicle manufacturer
changes; however, it is ultimately the responsibility of the installer to prevent damage due to installation.
8. Mark 4 holes to be drilled through the truck bed (see the illustrations for your truck). Measure carefully to determine if the frame
bracket is under the hole in the rail you have chosen. (Hole location will vary for individual vehicle applications.) Drill 4 holes with 1/8"
drill. Be sure that the frame brackets will align with the 1/8” holes that were just drilled. If they don’t, move either the frame brackets or
the rails slightly. Drill another 1/8” hole and check again. Then enlarge the 1/8” drilled holes with a 21/32" drill. Always use sharp drill bits.
Install tube spacer between rail and bed, install 5/8” carriage bolts into holes. Install filler spacer above or below bed to fill corrugations in
bed floor. SEE FIG. 4 on page 11. This is done to fill any space between the Frame bracket and the rail. This will keep the bed corrugation
from crushing when the bolts are tightened.
9. Install mounting brackets onto carriage bolts. Use the left and right angled frame brackets at locations where frame obstruction will not
allow the straight frame brackets to be positioned. Secure bolts through mounting brackets with serrated washers and hex nuts.
10. Drill two 17/32” holes in truck frame for each frame bracket. Select the holes which will give the greatest spread between bolts.
Install eight 1/2”-13x1-3/8” ribbed neck bolts, (threads pointing out), serrated washers, and hex nuts. Tighten nuts until bolt heads seat.
Lubrication of knurls of all rib neck bolts is recommended. But only the knurled area. (See figure below for weld option)
Note: On vehicles with heavy duty suspensions, check for interference with bolts where brackets are mounted to
frame. If interference with suspension spring results, cut bolt flush to nut outboard of frame or use weld option.
WARNING:
DO NOT lubricate threads. It may cause bolt failure.
CAUTION:
Check for obstructions before drilling. Failure to do so could result in damaged fuel or brake lines,
structural members, etc. Cequent Performance Products, Inc. does its best to communicate tow
vehicle manufacturer changes; however, it is ultimately the responsibility of the installer to prevent
damage due to installation.
CAUTION:
It is important that 17/32" drill be used for holes in chassis frame as rib neck bolts
may break if too small a hole is used and neck may not grip if too large a hole is used.
11. Torque all 1/2” nuts to 75 lb-ft and all 5/8” nuts to 130 lb-ft.
12. Pull wire provided to pull rib neck bolts through frame as needed per application. See figure 1.

3. Place the long tube spacer(12) into the bed sill. Place the filler spacer(4) into the bed corrugation either above the bed, if
the hole is in the bottom of the corrugation or below the bed if the hole is in the top of the corrugation. Place the short tube
spacer(10) on the filler spacer(4). Set the rail in position. Install the 6” long carriage bolt(9) through the top of the rail and
out through the bottom of the bed sill.
4. Place the U-shaped bracket(16) over the bolt. Install the 5/8” serrated washer(13) and the 5/8” nut(14) on the bolt(9). Hand
tighten the nuts.
5. With the 5th wheel legs installed in the rails, mark the locations in the rear rail to be drilled. Drill an 1/8” pilot hole. See the
diagram on the previous page for hole location. Be sure that the angled bracket will align with the 1/8” pilot hole. See the
diagram above. The angle brackets are to be installed from the inside of the frame. Left and right angled brackets may be
interchanged if it helps to get the bracket installed on the frame. Drill the pilot hole out to 21/32”.
6. Place the filler spacer(4) in the bottom of the bed corrugation if the hole is in the bottom. Place the filler spacer(4) under the
bed corrugation if the hole is in the top of the corrugation. Place the short tube spacer(10) over the hole. Set the rear rail
over the tube spacer(10).
7. Insert the short carriage bolt(5) down through the rail and the spacer. Install the angled brackets on the carriage bolt (5).
Fasten with 5/8” serrated washer(13) and nut(14). Hand tighten.
8. Follow steps 10-12 on page 3. you will only be installing 4 knurled bolts(6) instead of the 8 called for in step 10. Remove the
heat shield around the spare tire if there is one and if it will give better access to the frame. Replace heat shield when done.
1. After placing the rear rail in position as shown on the previous page,
position the front rail with the 5th wheel legs in place. This will properly
locate the front rail. Drill an 1/8” hole in the bed using the holes shown in
the diagram shown above. Check to be sure the hole is in the center of the
bed sill.
2. Using the 1/8” pilot hole as a guide, drill the hole out with an 1-1/4” hole
saw. Using the pilot bit of the hole saw, dimple the bottom of the bed sill.
Drill this out to 21/32”.

1.Using the center mounting hole shown on the previous page, and below, for the front rail mounting holes, drill an 1-1/4”
hole through the truck bed.
2.Let the pilot bit of the hole saw dimple the top of the truck frame. Check to be sure you are above the truck frame.
Check to see that the inside of the frame at this location is clear of any wiring or brake lines. Drill a 21/32” hole through
the top flange of the truck frame.
3.Insert the long spacer(12), in the hole in the bed. Install the filler spacer(4) as shown in fig. 4 below. Install the short
spacer the(10) as shown below. Set the rail over the spacers and insert the long carriage bolt(9) through the holes.
4.Install 5/8” serrated washers(13) and 5/8” nuts(14) on the bolts.
