To add a set of industry standard rails to your 2018 Ram 3500 you will want to use the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails item # RP56010-53. The brackets install in pre drilled holes in your Ram's frame. The base rails feature a standard 10-bolt design. Each of these rails attaches to the underbed brackets with two carriage bolts at both ends.

I have linked an installation video below.

To make towing with a 5th wheel easier I recommend adding the Pollak 5th Wheel / Gooseneck T-Connector with 7-Pole item # PK11893-11932. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your 5th wheel trailer easier and more convenient.
