@RandyB The Curt 16k slider hitch that was mentioned in this question part # 16516 is designed to fit above bed fifth wheel rails so if your 2022 Ram 2500 does not have the OEM puck kit you'd need a rail kit like the part # C16427-204 to use this hitch. If your truck has the OEM pucks all you'd need is the Ram rail kit adapter part # C29BR.
