Expert Reply:
The Mounting Kit # BWRVR2600 will allow you to install the B&W Universal Base Rails # BWRVR3210 on your 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 short bed. This will allow you to install your B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3270 in your bed.
If you have different above bed rails than the B&W please let me know so I can find the correct under bed mounts to work with your rails.
