asked by: Chad S
Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, Curt 5th wheel installation kit # C16427-104 will fit your 2016 Ram 2500 short bed with the factory air suspension and without the factory prep package. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.
If you do not already have a hitch I recommend the Curt 20K hitch # C16541. This is a slider hitch with 12 inches of travel so you can make tighter turns without the trailer hitting the truck cab. It also features a cushioned head for a smoother ride.
I also recommend adding a 7-Way trailer connector in the bed of the truck using # 41157 to make hooking up the trailer easier and without the need of an extension cable.
