Yes, you can Drew! The legs on the Reese M5 item # RP79ZR can be swapped out with the Replacement Legs for Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # RP30917. This will let you drop your 5th wheel hitch down into your Ram's factory puck system.
The legs will convert your 5th wheel hitch to the Reese M5 for Ram Towing Prep Package item # RP30918.
