Expert Reply:
For your 2020 Ram 2500 short bed with Ram Boxes I recommend the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115 with the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck - Carbide Finish # C16427-204. The rails are a custom fit and will require no drilling into your frame to install the mounting brackets.
Because you have Ram Boxes you will have to use a rotating pin box with a wedge kit. If you can reply back with the serial numbers off of your current pin box I can find you the correct sidewinder.
