Question

Question:

I have a 2020 ram 2500 mega cab and I have a fifth wheel hitch and rails. I just need the brackets that fit the truck frame and the hardware to mount them to the frame and the hardware to mount the rails to the brackets. I see you have a curt setup that fits my truck but I dont need the rails.

You are correct that the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck - Carbide Finish # C16427-204 fits your 2020 RAM 2500 without the 5th wheel prep package. This allows you to install a standard 5th wheel hitch, which you already seem to have. Since you already have the rails and just need the brackets and hardware, you can just go with this kit: Curt Custom 5th Wheel Bracket Kit for Ram Truck # C16427.

Keep in mind, if you didn't happen to have Curt branded rails then you'd need a different bracket kit, as these brackets are specific to the brand and kit. But since you mentioned you have the Curt rails, this will work.
