Will the curt 5th wheel rails and brackets fit my 2019 ram2500 8ft bed

Expert Reply:
I do have a great rail kit available from Curt that will work perfectly on your 2019 Ram 2500, however the Curt Universal Base Rail and Installation Kit # C16200 will not fit. Because of the frame rail design on your Ram none of the universal brackets will fit, so a custom kit is required.
For this I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16427-104, which includes the industry-standard base rails to which your hitch will mount along with custom brackets that will use existing holes in your Ram's frame rails so you don't have to drill into them. This drastically cuts down on installation time and effort compared to universal brackets.
I have attached an installation video that you can also use for reference.
