We have a large selection of fifth-wheel hitches that will work well on your 2017 Ram 2500 with the 8 foot bed.
Based on the hitches you were looking at, it appears that your Ram features the factory puck system. Please just let me know if this is not the case. I have listed below the weights of the hitches available that will attach directly to the factory pucks without the need for a separate adapter.
Reese OEM 5th Wheel Hitch - 20K # RP30918: 186 pounds
Curt Q24 - 24K # C16545-16021: 205 pounds
Curt Q20 - 20K # C16530-16021: 202 pounds
Curt A16 - 16K # C16520-16021: 178 pounds
Curt E16 - 16K # C16515-16021: 159 pounds
Curt Q25 - 25K # C16049: 205 pounds
Curt A25 - 25K # C16046: 178 pounds
Curt A20 - 20K # C16044: 196 pounds
B&W Companion - 25K # BWRVK3600: 216 pounds
While it is a heavier option, I highly recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3600. The Companion models are considered by many to be the best hitches on the market. It features 1 inch thick dual jaws to provide an excellent connection with your trailer, along with a fully articulating head that will ease hookup and help limit chucking. I have attached a short video demonstration on this product that you can also take a look at.
If you are needing the weight for another specific hitch, just let me know and I will be happy to provide that information.
