If you do not have a factory rail kit then I recommend going with the Demco Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kik for 5th Wheel Hitches, Item # DM8552000-71. This custom rail kit will install quicker and easier than a universal kit and will have minimal drilling which is always a plus.
If you have a factory rail kit then I recommend the Reese Underbed Rail Adapter for Standard 5th Wheel Hitches, Item # RP30156. It works for hitches up to 20,000-lbs capacity.
Both are good options for your situation. I have attached an article and some videos for you to check out.
