The Curt Spyder Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails, 25,000 lbs GTW # 16085 is a fit for any industry standard rails like those for your Curt Sliding 5th wheel hitch. You do not need to buy any more parts to make this function with your above bed 5th wheel rails on your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500. The safety chain loops are integrated and the pins and clips are also included.
You will want to be aware of your limited turning clearance due to your short bed, but this hitch will work well for you. If you want increased clearance, I recommend the Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails - 3" Offset - 25,000 lbs # 16055 which gives you that additional 3 inches to increase your turning clearance. This also has the integrated safety chain connection and the pin and clips.
