• Custom 5th Wheel Rail Brackets For A 2023 Ram 2500
  Hi Seth! The Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Brackets for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP56016 will only be compatible with the Reese Universal Outboard Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10 Bolt - Extended Length # RP30153, so they cannot be used with standard Reese rails or any other rails (you do have to stick the same manufacturer for both parts). Also, these will fit a 2011 to 2016 Ford F250, F350, and F450 so they will not fit your truck. For your 2023 Ram 2500, you will...

• Which Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Fits 2019 Ram 1500 Classic 5.5' Bed EcoDiesel
  We have the Reese fifth wheel rail kit part # RP50142-58 which is a confirmed fit for your 2019 Ram 1500 Classic ecodiesel with a 5-1/2 foot bed as a confirmed fit that I would recommend highly, but the Curt you mentioned does not fit your truck so I do not recommend it. Since this is a custom fit kit it will require minimal drilling and install time compared to a universal kit. Since your truck bed is so short you will need a slider hitch that can provide more turning clearance than...

• Recommended 5th Wheel Rail Kit for a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 Short Bed

• Install Video Guide to Install Curt Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit # C16427 in 2016 Ram 2500
  I attached a link to an install video that shows how the part # C16427 installs. The part number in the video is the kit that includes the rails part # C16427-104. The spacer configuration really depends on each bed. Since the corrugation will be slightly different for every truck you will have to determine whether it should go above or below the bed based on your application.

• Can Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch Be Used With Sidewinder Pin Box
  I have another option but unfortunately neither the Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch or the B&W Turnover ball gooseneck hitch are compatible with a rotating pin box like the Reese sidewinder you mentioned. Instead I recommend using the B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BWRVK3400 which will install into the B&W Turnover ball already installed on your 2017 Ram Short Bed, and will give you 12" of front to back travel for additional clearance when making...

• Fifth Wheel Rail Install Kit Recommendation for a 2012 Dodge Ram 6 foot Bed
  For your 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 6 foot bed the Reese install kit part # RP50142-58 would be the kit I would recommend.

• Compatibility of Andersen 3200 Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection with Curt Fifth Wheel Rails
  The Curt # C16427-104 bracket/rail kit is compatible with your 2018 Ram 2500, and would provide industry standard bed rails that mount in your truck bed.

• Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch Installation Kit for 2015 Ram 2500 4WD 6 Foot Bed
  Reese offers three different 5th wheel installation kits that are compatible with your 2015 Ram 2500. The Universal Kit part # RP30035 is a lower cost alternative, but because holes would need to be drilled into the truck frame, install would take longer than it would with a Custom Install Kit.
