Helpful Expert Reply:
The Demco Kit # DM8552032-71 weighs about 75 lbs while the Reese Kit # RP56018-53 weighs about 70 lbs. Both are compatible with the Andersen Ultimate Connection # AM3200 as they provide the industry standard base rail connection that the Anderson Ultimate needs.
Please note that these base rail kits are a fit for a 2019 Ram 1500 with either the 5-1/2' or 6-1/2' bed. The Anderson Ultimate Connection could possibly provide enough turning clearance for the 6-1/2' bed (not likely unless you have a long pin box) but if you have a 5-1/2' bed you will need to use a stationary 5th wheel hitch like the Reese 16K # RP30047 with Custom Wedge # SWW-03 so you can use a Sidewinder pin box which gives you 22" of turning clearance by moving the rotation point back to the turret. Sidewinder replacement pin boxes are specific fits so if you can tell me what your pin box number is I can make a recommendation for you.
