The Curt fifth wheel rail kit part # C16444-204 does fit the versions of the 2016 Ram 1500 that do have air suspension so it would be the correct kit to use.
Then for a hitch you would want the Demco Hijacker Autoslide part # DM8550040 as this is the only slider hitch available that will slide far enough to give you the clearance you need. It automatically slides 22-1/2 inches around tight turns. This will fit well in the Curt rails.
