Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, the two part numbers you mentioned would fit your 2014 Ram 2500 short bed without the hitch prep package and would work very well for you.
The rail kit part # DM8552025-71 is a custom fit kit designed specifically for your truck to minimize drilling and install time.
The Hijacker # DM8550034 will automatically slide around tight corners which will greatly reduce the hassle of towing with a short bed truck. Normally you have to get out and manually operate the slider every time you get to a parking lot. But not with this hitch as it does it for you.
