To mount a 5th wheel hitch using industry standard base rails in the 2019 Ram 1500 short bed you'll want to use the Reese # RP56018-53, which are a custom installation base rail kit for this truck. This kit will cut down on drilling and installation time and provides you with base rails to install your 5th wheel hitch.
I've linked our part review video of these rails for you to have a look at, as well.
