Helpful Expert Reply:
With the shorter truck bed and diesel and factory air suspension on your Ram the fifth wheel installation kit that is designed to fit is part # RP50142-58. The # RP30035-386 you asked about will not work.
For a fifth wheel hitch, part # RP30047 will work if you have a Sidewinder pin box on your trailer. If not when you execute a turn you will not have the clearance needed and a sliding fifth wheel hitch like part # RP30051 is recommended.
If you do not have a Sidewinder pin box but want to use the # RP30047, let me know what pin box you have on your trailer and I will see if there is a Sidewinder available for your trailer. I have attached a link to the Sidewinder Pin Boxes we offer.
If you need a trailer harness in the bed of your truck I recommend part # 41157.
