Hey Mike, thanks for reaching out!
The only way to get a Ram 5th wheel prep package is directly through a Ram dealer or a Ram OEM parts online dealer.
We do have an alternative solution for an aftermarket underbed system but it doesn't have all of the pucks that the factor setup will have. I really like the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1384 because it can be used for gooseneck towing and that same attachment point can secure the Companion Sliding Hitch # BWRVK3400-5W for 5th wheel towing. Then when you aren't towing you'll have a completely clean and clear bed for hauling loads.
