While there is not a custom fit option confirmed to fit your 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 with an 8' bed, the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30035 is confirmed to fit and will give you the above bed industry standard rails (ISR) you are looking for to install a 5th wheel hitch.
If you do not already have a 5th wheel hitch, I recommend taking a look at the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 16,000 lbs # RP30047 which has 3-1/2" of height adjustment allowing you to find the perfect setting for your truck and trailer combination, and the 4-way pivoting head will make hitching to your trailer a breeze even on un-even ground.
I included a video of the Reese # RP30035 being installed on a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500, and a video review of the Reese # RP30047 for you to take a look at.
