Hello all. I just purchased a new fifth wheel Hitch - Reese 16k slider last week. The receipt said the rails were going to be 10 bolt (30035 part number - I think) but 4 bolt rails showed up. I saw that either should would but my question is: Is there an advantage of one over the other? I planned to install it myself and watched a video on how to do the 10 bolt. Haven't watched anything on the 4 bolt rails (30095 part number).
I have a 2002 Chevy 2500HD short bed. Has anyone else installed either of these rail kits in a similar truck or know the difference???
Thanks in advance for your advice!!!

Thats a good question, the 30035 takes five 1/2 carriage bolts per rail, and the 30095 takes two 5/8 carriage bolts per rail. It would seem that five bolts per rail would be more secure, but I doubt there would be a problem with either. I have the 10 bolt system, and have had no problems. I would prefer the 10 bolt rails , but some maybe able to speak for the 4 bolt
