For your 2016 Ram 2500 with Factory prep package and 6 foot bed, I recommend the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R20 Slider - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs # C16541 along with the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider - Ram Towing Prep Package # C16022 to specifically fit your factory pucks.
This will give you a clean hitch system that will allow you to have an integrated system designed to work together. It is easy to install this hitch and allow it to function with the short bed. The sliding hitch has round tubes so it won't bind and it will give you 12 inches of travel from locking position to locking position. It is adjustable in height from 17-1/2 inches to 21-1/2 inches.
This system is a great choice for your vehicle.
