Yantuo Universal 10-Bolt Fifth-Wheel Installation Kit — Full-Size Truck Brackets & Corrosion-Resistant Hardware

Yantuo's Universal Installation Kit is a complete 10-bolt bracket and hardware set that lets you mount most fifth-wheel rails to full-size truck beds with stable, corrosion-resistant steel components.

This universal mounting kit provides the brackets, shims, and fasteners needed to attach a 5-wheel fifth-wheel track to compatible trucks (track sold separately). Designed to fit full-size trucks and to work with many REESE fifth-wheel systems (excluding Elite/Signature series), the kit centers on a ten-bolt configuration that improves load distribution and towing stability. Powder-coated steel resists the elements while the shim design preserves bed clearance during tightening and reduces stress on the truck frame.

How does the 10-bolt design improve towing stability?

The 10-bolt layout spreads load forces across a wider area of the truck frame and bed, lowering the chances of localized fatigue. More fasteners mean each bolt carries less stress, which can result in a firmer, less flexible connection under towing loads.

• Even force distribution across five mounting points per side
• Reduced bolt shear and frame stress during heavy towing
• Better resistance to loosening from vibration and road shock

What materials and finishes keep this kit durable?

All brackets and hardware are manufactured from high-strength steel, then finished with a black powder coat that helps protect metal surfaces from corrosion and everyday wear. The finish is formulated for outdoor use so components maintain fit and function over seasons of exposure.

• Premium steel brackets and fasteners for structural strength
• Corrosion-resistant black powder coating for long-term protection
• Hardware sized to match the 10-bolt mounting pattern for reliable fit

How straightforward is installation—do I need to drill or shim?

Installation requires drilling into the truck bed to secure the track; all necessary brackets, shims, and bolts are included in the kit. The shim design creates a consistent 1/2-inch gap between the frame and the bed, ensuring clearance for deep-corrugated beds and preventing bed damage when bolts are tightened.

• Includes brackets, shims, and hardware for a full installation (track sold separately)
• Shims preserve a 1/2-inch clearance to protect bed contours and paint
• Drilling required—plan for standard shop tools or professional installation

Which trucks and fifth-wheel rails are compatible with this kit?

This kit is engineered for full-size trucks and is compatible with most REESE fifth-wheel rails excluding their Elite and Signature lines. It serves as a universal option where a 10-bolt mounting pattern is required for 5-wheel track systems.

• Designed for full-size pickup trucks and common factory frames
• Works with many REESE fifth-wheel rails (not for Elite/Signature models)
• Track must be purchased separately and matched to the truck and hitch

Who is this for: The Yantuo Universal Installation Kit is aimed at truck owners who need a robust, long-lasting mounting solution for fifth-wheel rails—DIY installers with standard shop tools, professional installers, and RV owners upgrading or replacing mounting hardware. Choose this kit if you want a 10-bolt system that emphasizes load distribution, corrosion resistance, and proper bed clearance for corrugated or irregular truck beds.
