In order to pick out the best fifth wheel hitch for your 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab you will need to know the length of your truck bed. If you have a 6 foot bed you will need a hitch with a slider so you will be able to make 90 degree turns. If you have an 8 foot bed a fifth wheel hitch without a slider is what you would want.

The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16422-104 that you referenced would work well as a rail installation kit because it will minimize drilling and install in about half the time as a universal installation kit. This kit will work on your truck if has a 6 or 8 foot bed.

For a slider hitch if you have a 6 foot bed you could get a Curt E5 16K Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch with R16 Roller # 16516. Installation instructions attached. The non-slider version of this hitch is the Curt E5 Fifth Wheel Hitch # C16115 and would work well in your vehicle also.
