To add a set of 5th wheel rails to your 2023 Ram 2500, I recommend the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit item # C16427-204. This kit comes with custom fit brackets that install in predrilled holes in your Ram's frame. They will provide you with a set of 5th wheel rails to attach your Curt A16 item # C16521 to. These fit both the 6-1/2' and 8' bed lengths.
I have linked an installation video that will help you get these rails installed.
To make towing with a 5th wheel easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness item # C56000. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your 5th wheel trailer easier and more convenient.
