What hitch rails do I have?

The guy I bought my 03 3500 off of used to pull a gooseneck trailer. When I bought the truck, the rails were left on the truck. I just found a killer deal on a trailer and bought it tonight. Now, I want to figure out which hitch rails i have so i can buy the hitch to bolt up.
What is on there now is a bracket on each frame rail and then two cross rails made out of very thick angle iron. The rails have square and round holes in them. I believe the front rail has about 9 holes and the rear has 5 holes. The holes are in the tops of the rails. I am assuming these are an under bed gooseneck setup and I am leaning towards a "reese" brand setup because some of the pics I am seeing look like it, but there are no closeups to match hole patterns.
Any here have any info for me ??????


Also....I am looking to buy an offroad forklift weighing in at around 26,000 lbs. can I legally haul this with this truck? I have seen it done, but don't know the legal limit of the Ram. I DO know that I would need a cdl.
