I have a solution for you, but you are going to have to go with a new rail kit as Husky does not have any confirmed fits for bracket kits that will fit your 2015 Ram 1500.
What you will want is the Demco Custom install rail kit part # DM8552030-71 which is a confirmed fit that will also work with your Husky fifth wheel hitch.
Now since your truck bed is 5-1/2 feet long and you have the Ramboxes you are going to have to have a Sidewinder pin box installed on your trailer.
You will need to remove the pin box of the trailer and replace it with a Sidewinder pin box. Sidewinders are pin box specific so you will first need to know what pin box you have now in order to pick out the correct one.
There should be a sticker or a stamping on the OEM pin box of the trailer that will list the pin box number that is on the trailer.
Once you figure out which pin box you have you can check the FAQ I attached that has a chart that shows the correct Sidewinder to get based on which pin box you have.
