B&W Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit Recommendation to Fit 2017 Ram 2500

Question

Question:

I have a 2017 ram 2500 short bed without oem prep. I have a BW patriot fifth wheel hitch and two sets of universal rails for it. I am looking for the custom frame mounts to bolt into the preexisting frame holes for the fifth wheel installation. Do you sell just the frame mount and bolts without the rails?

If you have a set of B&W fifth wheel rails # BWRVR3210 all you'd need to install them in your 2017 Ram 2500 is the correct bracket kit which is the part # BWRVR2602.
