Expert Reply:
For your 2015 Ram 2500 that does not have the factory 5th wheel prep kit, meaning that it has above-bed base rails like # C16427-204, I recommend the 20K-rated Curt Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16130. This hitch fits into the install rails referenced above or any other brand of industry-standard 5th wheel base rails. For a 5th wheel wiring harness for the truck bed you can use part # C56000.
I have linked an installation video for rail kit C16427-204 showing it being mounted in a 2014 Ram 2500 as well as a helpful article with tips for an easier hitch install.
