I have a whole new setup option for you, but the rails for the long discontinued RBW 5th wheel you have been discontinued for years.

Unless you can find some used ones somewhere your only option is replacing the hitch with something that uses the standard above bed rails instead.

For that I'd go with the B&W Rails # BWRVR3200 which are a custom fit for your vehicle so there's less drilling than the universal brackets.

For a hitch if you're needing a slider I'd go with the Curt # 16516 as a good cost effective solution to get you on the road, or the # C16521 for a more premium option due to a much better jaw design and better cushioning for a smoother ride.

If you have a long bed like you said you don't need a slider and can go with a fixed hitch instead of which there's the cost effective # C16115 or the premium # C16120.
