The Curt Safety Chain Loops for Factory Ram Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch - Qty 2 # C60617 look like they fit based on the photos online. However, the Andersen Ultimate has a width of 31.5 inches and the Ram pucks I believe are 30-1/2 inches on center. You can measure to confirm, but it won't fit if the pucks are covered at all.

For a confirmed fit, you can use the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ram OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package - 25,000 lbs # DM6099 along with the Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter - 20,000 lbs # AM3200 which will allow you to add the safety chains to the steel frame.
