Question:
I recently bought a b and w patriot slider hitch. I will be installing it in a 2016 ram 2500. It does not have the puck system. I already have the top rails. Is there a hardware kit I can buy? What under bed brackets do I need for this type of hitch

Hey Horacio, congrats on the new 5th wheel hitch. We do have a couple of 5th wheel bracket kits with hardware for your 2016 Ram 2500. It's highly recommended for compatibility to match the brand of your 5th wheel rails to the same bracket kits. I have listed the different manufacturer options below:
B&W - item # BWRVR2602
Reese - item # RP58522 and item # RP58504 to attach the rails.
Curt - item # C16427
What brand of 5th wheel rails do you have?

Custom brackets are the only way to go. Take your time, measure 3 times (welding in a patch is the pits) and plan on at least several hours to install. Fit was good, 5th wheel never even wobbled. Very happy with product.
