Question:
Will this be compatible with a 2023 Ram 2500? And does this work with any rail kit or just Reese?

Hi Seth!
The Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Brackets for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP56016 will only be compatible with the Reese Universal Outboard Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10 Bolt - Extended Length # RP30153, so they cannot be used with standard Reese rails or any other rails (you do have to stick the same manufacturer for both parts). Also, these will fit a 2011 to 2016 Ford F250, F350, and F450 so they will not fit your truck.
For your 2023 Ram 2500, you will need one of the following options:
Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10 Bolt # RP30035 + # RP58522
Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck - Gloss Finish # C16427-104
Reese does not currently make a full bracket kit for your Ram, so you would need their universal kit to get the front brackets and then their # RP58522 for the rear brackets. The Curt option includes front and rear custom brackets and the rails, so it is the way I would go. Even if you already have rails.
What kind of hitch will you be using?

Hey Seth, how did things go with the fifth-wheel rail kit for your Ram 2500? Did you end up going with the Curt setup or the Reese universal option? Your update could make it easier for the next person with the same truck.
