Why Don't Gooseneck Hitches Install Behind Rear Axle in Truck Bed
Question:
Is it possible to get an underbed kit that mounts behind the rear axle ?

For your 2014 Ram 3500 you have to install a gooseneck hitch either right above the axle or slightly forward. Gooseneck trailers have very high pin weights relative to bumper pull trailers. If the pin weight is behind the rear axle of the truck it will actually unload the front suspension and reduce braking and handling performance to a dangerous level.
The part # 9466 is a confirmed fit for your truck though and would be a great option. I attached an install video as well.
