Help with hitch rails - 2004 Sierra
I just bought a 2004 Sierra Duramax for our new to us 5er coming next week hopefully. I’ve pulled out my hair trying to figure out the best kit etc. for mounting the rails. Looks a bit more complicated than our previous ram’s kit although I didn’t install or use that setup (came on the truck).
I have the Reese universal rail install kit and also just ordered the #50064 brackets but they’re a ways out from getting here. Should I proceed with the universal kit or wait for the custom?
To make matters more complicated, this truck previously had a 5th wheel hitch installed but none of the custom or universal brackets I’ve seen match the angled shape of the front bracket. I don’t want too many holes in the frame - how many is too many?
