Yes, the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails # C16200 are the correct rails for your 2002 Dodge Ram 3500. These rails are the industry standard rails that will fit your RBW 5th wheel hitch that is designed to fit the industry standard rails.

I do recommend installing a Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness # HM42137 to attach to your factory trailer wiring so that you can plug in your trailer wiring inside the bed of your Ram. This protects your tailgate from damage as well as reduces the chance wiring connection becoming damaged if the wiring is stretched while turning.
