Expert Reply:
For your 2008 Dodge Ram, you can use the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit # DM8552016-71. This will provide you with industry standard rails. As long as your E16 5th wheel hitch uses industry standard mounting points then you will be good to go.
You can also add the Curt 5th Wheel Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector # C56001 to make hooking up your 5th wheels wiring easier. This wiring harness would move a 7-way connector up into the bed of your truck, while retaining the use of the 7-way at the rear.
