Expert Reply:
For your 2017 Ram 2500 without the factory rail kit the Reese fifth wheel bracket kit part # RP50054 that you referenced will fit your Reese rails. These are part of the inboard rail kit part # RP50054-58. You'd need new hardware for the rails to attach to the bracket kit as these bolts are one time use. For that you'd need part # RP58430.
If instead you have the longer outboard rails you'd need the part # RP56009 which is a part of the # RP56009-53.
