Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Adapter Recommendation for 2018 Ram 2500 for Pullrite 2700 Fifth Wheel Hitch

Question

Question:

Hello, just purchased a 2018 ram 2500 with 6’ bed. It has the fifth wheel prep package. I’m looking to purchase a used fifth wheel that comes with a pull rite 2700 hitch. What are my options for mounting the hitch to the bed? Thanks.
