For your 2022 Ram 3500 I recommend the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit # BWGNRK1320. This heavy-duty hitch has a gross towing weight of 30,000 lbs and veritcal load limit of 7,500 lbs. The kit includes everything you need to get the gooseneck hitch installed on your truck.
The hitch has a simple installation with no welding required. It is also compatible with the B&W Companion BWRVK3500-5W if you want to use a 5th wheel at some point in the future. The Turnoverball hitch has a square base design which makes lining it up easy, and when you aren't towing it can be stored upside down for full bed access.
For wiring, I recommend the Bargman 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Plug - GM, Ford, Ram, Toyota - 9' Long # 50-97-410. This will give you a 7-way connection in your truck bed for 5th wheel and gooseneck towing.
I have attached some installation videos for your reference.
