The Demco Hitch part # DM8550040 would be the fifth wheel hitch you would want to tow a trailer with your 2016 Ram 1500 with a 5-1/2 foot bed. It's the only slider hitch available that's going to allow you enough clearance to make a tight turn.

For a custom rail kit to use to install the hitch you would then want the part # RP50142-58 by Reese as it is a fit for your truck (even with the air suspension), plus it's also a fit for the Demco hitch.
