It sounds like you have the factory 5th wheel prep package in your 2017 Ram 2500. If this is the case, then you will want the Reese Ram OEM Rail Adapter, # RP30154, to use your Husky 5th wheel hitch in this truck. This adapter mounts in the pucks in your truck bed and provides mounting slots that match those of industry standard above-bed base rails.

Keep in mind, this adapter will add about 2 inches of height to your 5th wheel hitch. Demco offers a slightly shorter adapter, part # DM6099. This adapter will add about 1-3/8 inches of height to your hitch.

I have attached review videos of both adapters for you to check out.
