Does anyone know what grade carriage bolts Reese uses to install a fifth wheel rail into a truck bed ?? Grade 2 -- 5 -- 8 or L9 Just wondering.

  • It's very hard to locally find high grade carriage bolts, which is what the rails use. I see they are out there on Google, though.
  • I'd use grade 5 for any hitch 20k and smaller. I think you'll have a hard time finding grade 8.
  • I wouldn't use anything less than Grade 8, there isn't that much price difference anyway.
