I have a solution for you but the Curt item # C16427-104 will not fit your 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 Long Bed. Instead you will want the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Dodge Ram - Carbide Finish item # C16420-204. This kit is custom fit and designed for your truck. The custom fit brackets mount to existing holes in your Ram's frame. I have linked an installation video below.

To make towing with a 5th wheel easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector - 10' Long item # C56071 to your 2006 Ram 3500. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your 5th wheel trailer easier and more convenient.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Hey Jerry, GM moved the placement of their puck systems starting with 2020 models so you are correct that the pucks would have the hitch not sit directly over the axle. GM did the math and made sure that this placement wouldn't adversely affect…
