Expert Reply:
The Curt fifth wheel rail kit part # C16200 is a universal style fifth wheel rail kit that is not listed as a fit for your 2017 Ram 2500 but could probably be made to work if you really wanted to. That said, it would be pretty challenging to install as it requires frame drilling and possibly additional modifications specific to your truck so I would highly recommend a custom install rail kit like the Curt part # C16427-204 as this will not require frame drilling and will be considerably easier to install.
With a rail kit like this basically any standard fifth wheel hitch is going to fit as this is an industry standard rail designed for the majority of hitches out there like the Curt A20 Slider part # C16541 which has a great jaw design that is quieter and smoother than most hitches.
