Yes, the Curt E16 fifth wheel hitch and rail kit part # C16116 would fit your 2017 Ram 2500 with a short bed. Since you have a short bed truck though I'd recommend the slider hitch version of this kit part # C16616 so that you have turning clearance. Short bed trucks most of the time need a slider hitch to provide clearance between the cab of the truck and the nose of the trailer.
