Any one install Reese 5 hitch???

[Gas Man]

I am looking at trading up, To a 2005 Dodge quad cab short box Cummins auto, We have a 5th wheel trailer with the long pin box, the box on the new Dodges are shorter than my ford, I really have to turn hard to get close to the cab now. Will the hitch set further forward in the box???



I also have a reese 15k slider hitch now has anyone installed the reese in their truck, how much are the brackets that attach to the frame??? And do you have to drill holes in the frame, and how bad is it install the brackets and new rails, and drilling holes in the bed.





Have my new truck all picked out now, just working on the wife to get the go head and order my dream truck.



Thanks



Paul
