For your 2014 Ram 2500 short bed you would want a custom install fifth wheel rail kit part # RP50054-58 as it will minimize drilling and install time when compared to a universal kit. This is a custom fit kit specifically for your truck.

This will work great with your Reese fifth wheel hitch too.

Only certain B&W Companion 5th wheel trailer hitches are compatible with Sidewinder pin boxes like the RP61412. Basically if it is a Companion that mounts in the 4 pucks of a factory prep package then it can be used with a Sidewinder. But if the…
