Expert Reply:
The best way to pick out a weight distribution system for your 2014 Ram 1500 is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight including the weight of any cargo behind the rear vehicle axle. Since your unloaded tongue weight is 446 lbs the Strait Line system part # RP66083 would be your best option. It has a tongue weight range of between 400 and 800 lbs and features only sway control to work to prevent sway before it starts. This is a trunnion system like you need which means good ground clearance too.
For a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286 is what you need.
