Hey Nicholas, it sounds like you are looking for a set of fifth wheel rails that fit your 2013 Ram 2500 as well as the fifth wheel hitch you have with your Sidewinder pin box. For that the Curt custom fifth wheel rail kit part # C16430-204 would work great. It's a confirmed fit for your truck and also fits the standard above bed style fifth wheel hitches like you most likely have.
If you are unsure what hitch you have email me back with a picture of it or get me whatever info you can find on it and comment below.
