For your 2018 Ram 2500 with the factory rail kit, I highly recommend the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550034. This is a truly excellent hitch that will slide automatically as you drive to give you 14 inches of additional clearance for tight turns. The hitch also features a premium wraparound jaw that will provide a smooth ride and added security. This is a very safe, sturdy, and realiable hitch hitch that will work well with your 14,000 pound trailer.

In order to mount the hitch to the factory rail kit on your Ram, you will just need the Rail Adapter # DM6099. This will mount directly to the pucks/sockets in your truck bed to provide the necessary mounting rails for the hitch.

I have attached a demonstration video on this system that you can also take a look at.
