Expert Reply:
To be able to install a fifth wheel hitch on your 2003 Ram 3500, I recommend removing the 3 inch body lift first. The body lift kit places a gap between the frame and the bed of the truck and we do not offer any custom brackets or kits that will work with the lift kit installed.
If you remove the lift kit I recommend using a custom installation kit like part # RP50140-58 with your fifth wheel hitch. Using a custom kit cuts the installation time in half over universal kits and minimizes drilling and measuring.
