Fifth Wheel Rail Kit that Fits 2017 Ram 2500 Short Bed with Air Suspension
Question:
Do you have any 5th wheel rail install kits that can work on a 2017 Ram 2500 6ft box with the factory air ride system?

Yes, we have the Curt fifth wheel rail kit part # C16427-204 that is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Ram 2500 short bed with air suspension. We confirmed this fit with Curt.
You will need a slider hitch too since your truck bed is shorter than 8 feet. The A20 slider hitch part # C16541 is a great option with a 20k capacity, but if you wanted something that slid automatically as you make tight turns the Demco Hijacker part # DM8550035 would be your best option. Getting out and operating a slider hitch is a bit of a hassle so this would save you that headache.
