The RetraxPRO MX Hard Tonneau Cover - Retractable - Aluminum - Matte # RT80235 is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Ram 1500 with 6 foot bed and RamBox. Neither of the videos which I've attached for convenience are installations on a truck with RamBox but you can see the similar installation.

I reached out to my contact at Retrax and they confirmed the fit for your truck and said that the rails will still allow you to use your RamBox without issue. You will have their full opening functionality. The RamBox tie down rails will still be functional as well but you will be limited around the clamps of this system.
