You can take the head off of our B and W Companion hitch and install it on a base that's designed to fit the factory Ram rail kit of your 2017 Ram 3500. For that we have the part # BWRVB3600 for a fixed base which is what you'd need if you had a long bed truck. Or we have the part # BWRVB3670 which is a slider base. This is what you'd need if you have a short bed truck. Slider hitches are needed for short bed trucks so that you can make tight turns without cab interference.
