Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Ram 3500 with 6 Foot bed and RamBox
Question:
I have a 2016 3500 mega cab with Factory self leveling air bags. It also has the rambox. What 5th wheel hitch can I use? My trailer already has a sidewinder pinion.

The Companion hitch part # BWRVK3600 would be an excellent option as it is often referred to as the nicest fifth wheel hitch on the market and the industry standard in terms of quality and reliability. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
This will fit the rail kit of your 2016 Ram 3500 and will work with the Sidewinder you have as long as you also get the custom wedge part # SWW-06.
The only way to tow a fifth wheel trailer with a Rambox truck is with a Sidewinder pin box on the trailer so you are pretty lucky to already have that set up and ready to go. The Sidewinder moves the pivot point high enough that it does not interfere with the Ramboxes.
