Expert Reply:

The overall height of the Curt Q20 # C16130 that you have now is adjustable between 13"-17". The Rail Adapter # RP30154 that you would use to mount in to the puck system on your 2018 Ram 2500 sits about 2" tall so that means your height range will increase to 15"-19".

If you were to instead use the Curt OEM 5th Wheel Hitch Legs # C16021 this gives you the Curt Q20 # C16530-16021 which has a height range of 14"-18".

I personally recommend going with the new legs for the Q20 as it eliminates more parts that you need to move around and has more of a clean look.
