Question:
Have a 2022 ram 2500 6.5 bed without oem prep for the 5th wheel. Can I install some type of bed rails to make this work in my truck. Really would like to buy this hitch since I am kinda disabled and would like to take out when not in use. If possible could you give me part number for the rails if there is anything available. Thanks

Since your 2022 Ram 2500 does not have the OEM prep package, I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit item # C16427-204. This system is custom fit and works with both the 6-1/2' and 8' bed lengths. It will work great with the Curt CrossWing Lightweight 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # C86JR you referenced.
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 item # C56000. 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.
