As long as your RBW Lil' Rocker 5th wheel hitch mounts to industry standard base rails then you can use the Semi-Custom # RP30035-023 or Custom # RP50140-58 base rail kit on your 2010 Dodge Ram 2500 and these will be compatible. The difference between the 2 kits mentioned is that one will require some drilling while the other one installs using existing holes in the frame of your pickup.
I am attaching a photo showing the measurements of the mounting places once these base rails are installed. Some of the Lil' Rocker hitches did have a unique base rail system that they only fit in and if that's what you happened to get then you're going to have to get a different 5th wheel hitch as those base rails aren't available anywhere anymore.
If this is the case then I recommend using the Reese 16K # RP30051 which is a cost-effective slider hitch that will fit the base rails mentioned above and it uses a dual jaw system which is provides a more comfortable ride than the entry-level slide-bar style jaw.
