Yes, Sidewinders are actually the only solution that will allow a truck like your 2017 Ram 2500 with the Ram Boxes to tow a fifth wheel trailer since it moves the pivot point up above the Ram Boxes.

Sidewinders are pin box specific so you will first need to know what pin box you have now in order to pick out the correct one.

There should be a sticker or a stamping on the OEM pin box of the trailer that will list the pin box number that is on the trailer.

Once you figure out which pin box you have you can check the FAQ I attached that has a chart that shows the correct Sidewinder to get based on which pin box you have. Or you can email me back with what you find and I'll let you know.

Then for your truck you'd want a custom fifth wheel rail kit like part # RP50054-58 with a fixed hitch like the # RP30047 and you'd be set.
