Helpful Expert Reply:

We do have a 5th wheel base rail and installation kit that fits your 2015 Ram 1500 with a 5-1/2 foot bed, with the correct fit for your truck being the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit with Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50142-58.

I highly recommend this option as it is a custom kit, which means no drilling in your truck's frame to install. However, if you wanted the less expensive option (which would require drilling in your truck) that would be the Reese Semi-Custom Base Rail and Installation Kit # RP30035-523.

For a hitch that will work with both base rail options I recommend the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Single Jaw - 20,000 lbs # RP30928. Please keep in mind that because of your 5-1/2 foot bed you will also need to use a Sidewinder such as the Reese Sidewinder Fifth-Wheel Pin Box # RP34FR. For this setup, you will also need to use Wedge # RP44FR.

I have added a link to a help article on Sidewinders as well as a link to our selection of them for you to check out. I have also added a link to some video reviews and instructions for you to take a look at.
