Helpful Expert Reply:

In order to use your existing B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch with your new Ram 3500 that's equipped with the factory rail kit all you need is the Replacement Base # BWRVB3600 if you have the 8 foot bed or the sliding version # BWRVB3670 if you have the short bed. This will simply replace the original base for your Companion so that it can attach directly to those factory pucks in the bed of your Ram.

I did also reach out to my contact at B&W and verified that the head for your older 3000 model Companion will still fit these current bases.
