Placement of Reese standard bed rails?
I know I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed so I am hoping some of you can help me. I want to install the Reese bed rails(#RP50082-58) in my truck myself. I want this kit because it looks much strong...

OK, I guess I did it wrong! First when I installed my rails I had no hitch. Second, since I had a drop in bed liner in my TV, I measured from the rear of the bed to the back of the rear rail to locate the rails. Can not remember for sure, but I thought the distance between the rails was mentioned in the instructions?? I have a 2006 RAM 2500 short bed, and I will go and measure and post my measurements, I hope they are helpful, but I would try and get exact measurement for your particular TV.
The Reese PDF file is 32*1/4 from the rear of the rear bed rail to the rear edge of the bed. This is for the Ford Superduty in question .As said what is critical is the 22" spacing , and having the bed rails squared. Do those two things ,and any hitch setup for the standard industry rails will fit.
