I do have a couple of solutions for you. They will be based on the trim level of your 2006 Dodge Ram 1500.

If your truck has a 6-1/2' bed and it does not have the Mega Cab OR you have the 8' bed, you will need the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, part # RP50040-58. If your Reese 5th Wheel is from their Elite or Signature Series this will not work.

If you have the 6-1/2' bed with the Mega Cab you will instead use the Reese Semi-Custom Base Rail and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - Dodge Ram, part # RP30035-023.

There is not an underbed mounting option if you have a Reese Signature or Elite Series 5th wheel hitch. I have included product description links, a video installation link, and a video demo link below.
