Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2018 Ram 2500 Short Bed with OEM Rail Kit
Question:
I was looking at this hitch pairing it with a Grand Design Momentum G Class 353G 5th wheel toy hauler. The weight of the rig are all in spec I was just making sure this was the “best” recommended hitch since I’ve always owned BandW products and am partial and was curious if there is going to be any additional equipment such as a sidekick that would be necessary for clearance or aireride kingpin to make towing more comfortable you would recommend for the 5th wheel that I’ve chosen.

The B and W Companion fifth wheel hitches are definitely the best hitches out there. Even if you weren't partial to them I would have recommended the B and W Companion Slider part # BWRVK3670 for the OEM rail kit of your 2018 Ram 2500 short bed. No additional accessories would be needed for turning clearance either since this is a slider hitch. I believe you may have been referring to a Sidewinder pin box.
