If you have the Reese Universal Base Rails # RP58058, I recommend using the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit # RP50040 to install them to your 2005 Dodge Ram. These are custom brackets that are confirmed to fit your truck and will use existing holes in its frame to drastically cut down on drilling and installation time. If you also need the base rail hardware, you can use the Hardware Kit # RP58430.

If you happen to have different brand base rails, please let me know and I will be happy to recommend the correct frame braket kit. Because there can be differences between brands, we do not recommend mixing manufacturers when it comes to fifth-wheel base rails and frame brackets.

I have attached the written installation instructions for the Reese Quick-Install Kit that you can also look through.
