For your 2021 Ram 3500 6-1/2 Foot Bed with OEM Prep Pkg I recommend the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw - Above Bed - 21,000lbs # DM8550035 and the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ram OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package - 25,000 bs # DM6099. This hitch provides 14" of travel to increase your turning radius and the rails will drop right into your factory puck system.

For the center gooseneck hitch ball location of your Ram factory rail kit you will need part #RP30136 and for the safety chain or forward 5th wheel hitch locations you will need the Replacement Puck Plug Covers #58199. These aren't going to fit…
