Question:

I have a 2013 ram 2500 with rear leaf springs. I bought a used reese 5th wheel slider kit from a guy and i have everything to go with it besides the frame brackets. Would this kit work on my truck or any other kits that would work? Thank you

The item you linked to does fit your model year, but we do have what you need. I suggest the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, # BWRVK2605. These above bed rails will provide necessary mounting points for a 5th-wheel hitch. The custom-fit brackets mount to existing holes in your vehicle's frame so this minimizes drilling and measuring, reducing installation time. This base rails are compatible with B&W Patriot, Curt, Demco, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley above-bed 5th-wheel hitches.

Please note the linked product review and installation video of these rails on a 2013 Ram 2500.
