Hey Steve, thanks for all of the info about your Demco rail kit. Based on you having the UL style that means it's the above bed style that is currently very popular. You would want the rail kit part # DM8552030-71 which is custom fit for your 2017 Ram 1500 and will work with your FWH24P hitch.
How long have you had that fifth wheel hitch and how do you like it?

I installed the Demco above rail system on a 2016 Ram. It is definitely an excellent buy. Instructions were clear. And that system is built solid, very solid. Everything needed to install.
