Here are some of the reasons I can think of buying above bed ISR fifth wheel rails as opposed to an under bed set of rails.
1) Cost and ease of installation (with frame specific install kits)
2) Compatability with a large spectrum of fifth wheel hitches from all manufacturers without the need for special and expensive adapters
3) extra tie off points when hauling a load in the bed
4) easy to convert to a gooseneck hitch by installing a relatively cheap gooseneck plate adapter in the rails
That’s about all I got. Anyone else have any reasons to install above bed rails as opposed to an under bed solution?
I know one of the cons include not having a flat bed when not towing.
Thanks

Pretty hard to argue with logic and facts....though many do!
A couple of sections of 3/4” plywood, cut to fit....pretty much eliminates the rails in the bed argument! Though....those with a short box truck, will complain about the loss of storage room! ;)
