By "this" I do believe you were referring to the Curt base rail kit, and the answer is yes, it will indeed fit your 2019 Ram 2500 short bed. There are two different kits that will fit, one with base rails that have a glossy finish and one with base rails that have a carbide finish (more of a matte black):
- Gloss Finish: Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck # C16427-104
- Carbide Finish: Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck # C16427-204
Apart from the look of the base rails, the two kits are exactly the same, installing in you '19 Ram without any drilling into its frame, which is great for your truck while also saving you a bunch of time. These rails will fit standard 5th wheel hitches such as the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Slider # C16521.
The only other thing you might need, if you don't have one, is a 5th wheel wiring harness, the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness # C56070.
