For your 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 Mega Cab with 6-foot bed I recommend a custom-fit 5th wheel installation kit that will reduce your install time. The lowest-price option currently is the Curt # C16420-204 which includes the base rails, custom under-bed brackets and hardware. You can refer to the linked video for a complete illustration of the installation process.
If you need a 5th wheel wiring harness for the truck bed you can use part # C56001
Since your truck is a short bed, slider type 5th wheel hitches like the Reese # RP30075 and the Reese # RP30051 are required in order to provide enough turning clearance.
