Yes, the Curt fifth wheel rail kit part # C16430-204 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2016 Ram 3500 long bed without the hitch prep package. It will work well with your Q24 fifth wheel hitch part # C16245.

The fifth wheel rails and brackets do not have capacities. What the rail manufacturers state is that the rails will have the capacity of whatever the hitch is that is installed on them.

For a 7-way to install in the bed of your truck you would also want the part # 41157.
