Expert Reply:
To install the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550034 in the bed of your 2023 Ram 3500 you'll need the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram # C16430-204. This custom-fit base rail kit will mount using the existing holes in your Ram's frame to drastically reduce installation time and difficulty.
If you don't already have an in-bed 7-way then I recommend also picking up the Mighty Cord 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector # A10-7007 as well to make plugging in 7-way cable from your trailer easier.
