Reese rails w/ airbags???

[mrtwister]

I have a 2005 QC / SB that I already have the reese rails installed in. I am wanting to add Pac-Brake or similar airbags. Will the two mounts interfere with each other?

Although I have a long bed, the rails still mount in the same location... about 1. 5" forward of the axle's centerpoint. I used the universal brackets that came with the



I run ride-rites without issue... but again, with universal brackets.

The reason I qualified it with the universal rails was due to the fact he could have the no-drill rail brackets, and they might interfere...

Honestly I'm not sure which install kit was used. I bought the truck used and it already had the rails in it.

Ride Rite has a no drill kit for the 3rd gen, part #2299 that mounts where the bump stops are located

Bob:



I have that kit... and what I'm saying is that if he has the clamp-on frame mounts for the rails, they may interfere. I was under the impression the rail mounts are one long bracket...



He would need to look at the mounts for the rails...

I had the Reese clamp on kit AND the Ride Rite on my 2005. The Ride Rite bags mount under/inboard of the truck frame and the Reese mounts are over/outboard of the frame

Our bag kit will fit with this hitch with no problems.

Thanks for let us know about that. The Pacbrake looks like a nice unit, I wish they where available when I bought mine
