Fifth-wheel base rails and their corresponding mounting brackets like the Curt Installation Kit # C16430-204 for your 2019 Ram 3500 don't actually have a listed weight capacity, as they are made to match the capacity of any 5th wheel hitch that would be mounted. This just means the limiting factor on your setup is going to be the 30K gooseneck adapter you plan on using, or the capacity of the truck itself if it is less than this.

The rails can absolutely be used with your 30K gooseneck adapter and will match its weight capacity for safe operation.
