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.
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.
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.
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.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR 30095 BASE RAIL INSTALLATION
WARNING:
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.
CAUTION:
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.
