Question:
I AM GETTING A 2016 RAM 3500, IT IS MEGA CAB SO THE BED IS SHORT. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE RAILS INSTALLED CAUSE IT WAS NOT DONE FROM THE FACTORY, THE TRUCK DOES HAVE FACTORY AIR. WHEN GOING INTO YOUR SITE ONLY OPTION IS WITHOUT FACTORY RAILS and WITHOUT FACTORY AIR....LOOKING FOR A 18K 5TH WHEEL HITCH THAT IS AUTO SLIDE?

Expert Reply:
The air suspension package in the 2016 Ram 3500 6-foot short bed makes 5th wheel hitch installation tough due to clearance issues, but I checked with my technical contact at B&W and they can offer a solution for a slider hitch installation.
You can use B&W base rail/install kit # BWRVK2605 to give you industry-standard base rails in your truck bed. You can then use the 18K Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550034 which provides a generous 14-inches of slider travel.
For a 5th wheel wiring harness you can use Curt # C56000.
