For your 2016 Ram 3500 with the factory fifth wheel rail kit in the bed of the truck. The B and W Companion hitch part # BWRVK3600 is a confirmed fit and would work well.

Now since you have the # BWRVK3500 already what you can do is remove the head of that hitch and install it on the base assembly part # BWRVB3600 and you essentially will have a # BWRVK3600.
