Yes, the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2604 is compatible with your 2021 Ram 1500 with factory air bags. It is however not compatible with RamBoxes. Since you have a 5.5' bed I recommend either using a sliding hitch Like the # BWRVK3270 or sidewinder pin box to increase your turning radius and prevent the nose of your fifth wheel from coming into contact with the cab of your truck. Sidewinder pin boxes have specific bolt patterns so you'll have to match the bolt pattern of your current pin box and use a non-sliding hitch like the # BWRVK3255 with a wedge kit # SWW-06 to prevent the king pin from pivoting in the jaws of your hitch.
