I have a quick question about the rails on 5th wheel hitches. My truck previously had a 5th wheel hitch installed and the holes for where the rails were indicate that the rails were installed running lengthwise down the bed. The hitches I see now specify that the rails be installed going across the bed.
Is there a specific reason for this? When I get a hitch install I was thinking it would be nice to re-use the existing holes, however, it doesn't look like any of the kits are intended for that type of installation now.
