Yes, the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 16,000lbs Item # RP30047 with the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches Item # RP56018-53 will fit your 2021 Ram Quad-Cab with 5'7" short bed.
Note: Due to the length of your bed you will need a sidewinder pin box. I've attached a link to our sidewinder FAQs page to offer you some additional information. If you need help picking out the correct replacement just email back with the model/serial number of your current pin box and we'll get you the replacement you need.
